Q: What will Hunter Water do to resolve a complaint?

We aim to resolve complaints as quickly as possible. If we can’t deal with the matter immediately, we will:

  • respond to you within two working days if you have made a face-to-face or telephone contact, or
  • send you a written response within five working days if you have sent a written complaint

Our response will outline actions taken and/or reasons for our decisions, as well as the name of a contact person for any follow-up enquiries. If we cannot resolve your issues within the timeframes set out above, we will provide you with a clear plan of the actions that will be taken.

Q: What if I’m still not satisfied?

You have the right to have your complaint referred to the Energy & Water Ombudsman NSW (EWON). EWON provides an independent dispute resolution service that is free of charge to you.

They will review issues related to water or sewer services, billing, payment, customer service and other matters where a dispute has arisen.
