Yorkshire Water Contact, Login, Moving House, Payment Details

All of Yorkshire's water supply, sewerage and drainage services are handled by one company: Yorkshire Water. With over 5.2 million people living in its service area, Yorkshire Water ensures water supply and treatment thanks to its 2,500 employees. As a private water company, Yorkshire Water ownership is shared between various foreign and institutional investors (such as a Singapore-based sovereign fund) through a holdings company. Yorkshire Water is fairly unique in that its supply area coincides exactly with Yorkshire geographically.

Yorkshire Water Contact

Take a look at all the Yorkshire Water contact options, so you can find the one best suited for your water supply query. First up, we have a section devoted to all Yorkshire Water contact number lines.

Yorkshire Water Contact Number Lines

The Yorkshire Water contact number options are fairly streamlined. Take a look below to find the right number to contact Yorkshire Water based on your water supply query.

Yorkshire Water has a callback feature on its website. It's available for all the call options listed above. Requesting a callback can be handy if you don't want to be waiting in line for a long time. Yorkshire Water states that they call most of their customers back in about 15 minutes from when the callback request was made. Additionally, there are a couple of customer queries, where requesting a callback is the only way to get help from Yorkshire Water:

1. Setting up Direct Debit
2. Requesting a water meter

When calling Yorkshire Water expect to wait anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes depending on your query. For example, the automated and 24-hour phone numbers, for automated payments and leaks, have the shortest wait times. On the other hand, the phone line for bill payment problems which serves customers who are worried about being their financial situation and being able to pay their bills can leave callers waiting for up to 20 minutes.

Thankfully, there are other ways of contacting Yorkshire Water if picking up the phone is not your preferred way of sorting out your water queries.

Online Form, Postal Address, Social Media

Yorkshire Water provides an online form for customers to fill out and initiate contact with as much information upfront. The online form is located in the "Get in touch - General Enquiries" of the Yorkshire Water website. To get started you will need to provide the following details:

1. Personal Information including email and phone contact details
2. Yorkshire Water Account Details including your reference number and address on your bill
3. Comments area to describe the nature of your query

Alternatively, Yorkshire Water provides a postal address as an option for customers needing to make a complaint: Yorkshire Water, Box 52, Bradford BD3 7YD. The good news is that if Yorkshire Water does not reply to a complaint within seven days of receipt, the customer is entitled to receive £25, based on Yorkshire Water's own customer care policies.

While Yorkshire Water does not have customer-facing emails, the water supplier is present on social media. On Twitter, Yorkshire Water is very active with not one but two accounts: @YorkshireWater for company news & PR and @YWHelp for customer support specifically.

Yorkshire Water no longer has a live chat that is accessible without logging in. The only to reach Yorkshire Water without having to log into your account is through the options outlined above.
