Had a problem with the meter, first it was showning zero, then started showing too much. Receved a bill for 1600 pounds, called the company, explained, got a quick refund. Many thanks.
I needed my meter replaced and I have nothing but praise
Outside meter stop tap not fully turning off at a vacant probate property I’m having to look after. E-mailed in the problem to CW and within ten minutes I had a reply from Louise at customer service to say the fault had been logged for attention. Next morning engineer called from the property to say he couldn’t do it but had reported it for attention. Same afternoon a CW team turned up, dug out and replaced the meter & tap and made good around it. From my experience I can’t fault the service
Direct debits just randomly stopped. When I finnaly worked out how to create an account ( my customer ref is 10 digits not 8 ) I found that they had a DD mandate and set up but had reset the value to 0! Keeping in mind I made a manual payment when I noticed this so didnt miss anything, they new price went from £33 to £60 for NO REASON!
Possibly the worst company i have ever dealt with, have never billed us sice moving in, 40 minute wait to talk to someone, all we want to do is pay them, yet they make it impossible, quite bizzare!
I cannot believe how my bill can rise a month from £33 to £92 this is absolutely criminal and this company are doing it to others to i thought i had got behind but it isnt its just their greed to rob people many have had their bulls go up by 3X same as I absolutely disgusting avoid them if you can
I'd give them no stars if possible. No water in my home since 7am this morning - reported massive leak pumping into road three houses down at 7am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm and finally 8pm this evening. Their website says no prob in area, Reported prob by phone, app, email and text, Put on Facebook and X and sent video of water pumping out. My dog desperately needs a drink and I live in the middle of nowhere. 20.15 Friday night and still no water,. Totally rubbish.
They are so incompetent and inept it's hard to know where to start!
I’ve been waiting a year for them to read my meter , I called last month and was told they are reading my meter in July, I have just received my yearly bill and guess what it’s estimated again. I am canceling the direct debit until they read my meter.

Feedback on Poor Service and Billing Issue – Cambridge WaterI am extremely disappointed with the service I have received from Cambridge Water. I have been wrongly billed for another property, which is significantly higher than my usual charges. This issue occurred because your meter reader or engineer swapped the apartment number on the water meter, leading to incorrect billing.When I contacted your customer service team to resolve this issue, my experience was far from satisfactory:Disconnected Calls: I was hung up on twice during my calls to customer service, and no one called me back. Each time, I spent nearly 20 minutes on hold before being disconnected.Long Wait Times and Transfers: On my third call, although I finally got through, I was transferred to another department (the supply line), which required an additional 10-minute wait.Unresolved Issue: After all this, I was informed that a new appointment would need to be booked to check the supply pressure, despite the issue stemming from your previous error.This experience has been extremely frustrating, and the lack of efficiency and professionalism has made the situation worse.I request that Cambridge Water takes the following steps to address this matter:Review and resolve the incorrect billing issue immediately.Improve customer service processes to ensure calls are not disconnected, and follow-ups are made where necessary.Reduce wait times and avoid unnecessary transfers between departments.This situation has caused unnecessary stress and wasted a significant amount of my time. I hope to see swift action taken to resolve my case and an assurance that such incidents will not happen again.
Problem with leaking internal water meter...Saturday 30th November at 1pm - Called to report the issue and was dealt with very efficiently by Tom, who booked a call to fix.2 hours later, a lovely gentleman called Andy Kew, inspected the issue, installed a new meter outside and put in a call for a plumber to fix the internal leak and remove the old meter.Hhe plumber came within 2 hours and resolved the problem.Amazing service. BIG thanks to Andy Kew, especially, for getting us leak free!
Cambridge Water dug up my drive today. They didn't ask me, they didn't tell me. They said my neighbour had given them permission. When I rang Cambridge Water they said they COULDN'T put me through to complaints...because they only have a complaints line for billing. Not for anything else. So they refused to continue my call. When I rang again, same issue, they put me on hold saying they 'couldn't find a number' for this particular complaint. Then left me on hold and didn't come back. And to think...people complain about the water companies. Can't think why. So now...I can never know if they will dig up my drive again because someone else might give them permission. And they have no complaints procedure to pursue it. Such a well run firm.
Horrendously ineffective.Bills suddenly being sent x 6 higher than they originally requested. Even though THEY set the monthly amount Customer service cal centre lines just advising due to an emergency lines are closed.Finally getting someone (on instagram of all places!) Who promised to put the account on hold. But the bill coming out anyway! About to report these crooks to whichever body is supposed to regulate them.
After 52 minutes of wating on the phone, I gave up. This is appalling service. If they want the payment they can wait for it!
Pray that Cambridge Water does not happen to you. Couldn’t locate external stop cock after more than 2 visits. Had to contact previous home owner after almost 20 years to find the cock. Cambridge Water will not update the cock to a boundary box to assist with underfloor leak tracing, told me the external cock is a “private issue”. The company while installing a new external cock cut the broadband cable to my house and never told me or apologise about it.
Scum of the highest level. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!
On two occasions in the past I've had to call them to change billing details and they have sorted it quickly and pleasantly, including last week pushing the direct debit back by a month to make sure there was no problem with the switch over. There's a fairly lengthy wait on the phone before you get through to them, but then when they answer it's all sorted quickly.
Non existent customer service. Very difficult to contact. Constantly told they will sort things out, they never do. Even when someone did finally turn up to read my meter, they managed to lose the reading. The worst water company I've known.
