Disgusting company. Changed our meter as part of their "routine operational programme". Everything was fine before the install and now we have a leak over 200 litres per hour outside our boundary. This disgusting company have told us we are responsible for the repair and the lost water since the install. How it's allowed to operate i don't know.

Sort your website out its absolutely Useless!!! Trying update direct debit details stuck on next all time pathetic!!

Breathtaking bill hikes in the last couple of years they absolutely stink of greed. Just had mine through and it has gone up to £74.72 a month😳

Had a recent problem which was handled really well and courteously by the staff. Thank you very much Charmaine and Michelle.

We have been charged 100 pounds a minth we do not use this much! Requested a metre but theres a large queue and now been told theres an increase of 9 percent!!!!

Actively promotes the leaky loo scheme, sends a video of a 'leaky loo' and of course they find some reason why they won't do it. In addition to this prices have become ridiculous. Started off paying £34 in 2023, then £42 in 2024. £78 in 2025 and now a massive increase to £92 monthly, all with the same size house and usage.

Absolutely shocking
Phoned to say stopcock broken water leaking down the street no water in the house
First available appointment in one month!!!

The charges from this company are appallingly high. We need an alternative to Dwr Cymru in Wales. As pensioners we cannot afford regular annual hikes of 10 to 20% on our water bills.

In 2025 we had an increase to help with improvements with the promise (in writing) that the following year we will see a decrease. However, just received the bill for 2026 and there is another 9.7% so their decrease promised must have been shelved

I’m trying to arrange a water meter installation. This company has an unworkable website and it’s proving very difficult to speak to someone who can arrange the above!
I continue to persevere but I’m becoming increasingly frustrated!

Extortion

Water bill in 25/26 rose by 32%
Water bill for 26/27 up another 11%

It's organised crime
Welsh Water Mafia

Wow, what a mess with the billing! I’ve got a £100 credit, but my annual bill is supposed to be £583.77, which breaks down to £48.64 a month. I contacted Welsh Water, and they insisted I need to pay £53.50 a month, even though I’m in credit. Their excuse? They only send out two bills a year. It feels like Welsh Water is just taking advantage of their customers' balances for their own gain.

We pay our bill every 6 months just had a bill of over £600 have gone into debt to pay and have now set up a dd of £55 pm as advised by them. Sent a complaint email only to be completely confused and worried by reply that states my property was empty for a period of time complete rubbish and that my £55 pm may not cover my next bill as it has now in a space of a week been calculated as £70 pm. We are a household of 2 my sister has a household of 4 and pays Severn Trent £50 pm. They have plucked facts and figures out of air and I live in complete fear of my next bill

Not for profit they say, what a load of rubbish, single tenant working 60 hrs a week 2 bedroom house this year went up too £40 per week nearly 80% more than last year, absolutely disgusting we are now living to pay bills or support lazy people who are claiming benefits

I am utterly disgusted with Dwr Cymru (Welsh Water) for charging their customers for treating sewage, which they just dump into rivers and the sea!
They are charging for a service which they themselves don't have to spend money on!
We should have reduced bills as we are not getting what we pay for!
Terrible company. Non-profit making indeed! Ha! That's rich!!! 🤬💩 💩💩
GREAT NEWS! Dwr Cymru have been fined £45 Million. Well deserved! 😀

We have given a 5* review, even though the call centre operative been unhelpful. We had to ask/insist a visit with us by an engineer/supervisor, which in fairness she arranged. The engineer (Mike Hughes) came to see us, we told him of our problem. we are not able to get to our stop valve and water meter any more due to age and lack of physical ability and a broken bone in my back.
The meter and stop valve are 35 metres away from our property behind a fence overgrown with decorative bushes on somebody else's property. We only requested for the equipment to be moved to a more accessible place so that we could shut off the water and check the meter if we had a leak. The engineer listen to us, looked at the situation reported back to his boss, he came back and told us that they would do their best and a team would come in a few weeks and attempt to move the equipment. They had a bit of a struggle to do it and managed to move the equipment about a metre to outside the fence and now it is easily accessible for us to get to. The whole operation was carried out within 3-4 weeks efficiently. Well done to the all guys who carried out the work and (Mike Hughes) who arranged for it all to be carried out.
We are very pleased that you were able to do this for us.

Can’t get hold of anyone. Phone - apparently unable to answer due to staff meeting. Waiting ages for a response on chat. In credit over £200 yet they still put my bill up and continue to bill me every month and no sign of my money back! Website is useless. Wanted to download my recent bill for proof of address for something else and won’t let me! Sort it out Welsh water! You charge enough each month! Sort your customer service out and stop ripping people off!!!!

Absolutely shocking customer service......... we are a charity in Pembrokeshire, we had an old meter fitted on the main road, so we had a smart meter fitted so easier to read, welsh water which i will call WW couldnt be bothered to read the new smart meter for 11 months after fitting, we then get a call to say there is a leak approx 100 litres an HOUR, yes 100 litres AN HOUR !!!!!!!!! an engineer called and said it was an urgent matter, one month later - NOTHING....incredible - why is your water bill going up ? to pay for these MASSIVE leaks that they cant be bothered to fix - WOW, not for profit ? yet they are all in new vans and comfortable pay increases EVERY year - SAYS IT ALL, no wonder their reviews are awful - what a bunch of corrupt cartel companies - well we are stopping our D/Debits, bet they will be on soon = LOL

Every time I deal with this company, there's a problem.
Bills rose by 42% last year alone, way above inflation with no improvements to services.
Now I'm expected to pay this year's bill without being able to access any details about it it or any details about previous bills.
More burst mains than ever due to lack of infrastructure ppms and Dŵr Cymru expect customers to foot the bills for overpriced reactive maintenance.
Disgraceful management of a national resource.

I have been trying for over a year to be switched to a meter. They do not follow through or do anything at all about this so I am stuck paying another years worth of extortionately high bill.

My bill for a similar business in London is less than half what I’m paying them.
