After eight weeks, if your complaint is still unresolved, you can take your complaint to the Consumer Council for Water (CCW) who are an independent body, akin to an Ombudsman, who will investigate your complaint further and mediate between Northumbrian Water and yourself.

You can contact CCW in the following ways:

The CCW helpline is open Monday to Friday, 8:30am-5pm.

Don’t take your complaint to Ofwat! If you have a complaint, do not take it to the water regulator Ofwat as they will be unable to help you. Ofwat only deals with anti-competitive behaviour in the water industry and does not deal with the individual complaints against water suppliers. The CCW is the correct body.
