Mains Water Supplies

The vast majority of water supplied in the towns in East Devon is by mains water supply provided by South West Water.

Government Regulations require South West Water to carry out a great deal of sampling of their own supplies to ensure that they reach the required water quality.

We also have a responsibility to monitor the quality of water supplied by private water companies. Our sampling is usually limited to the investigation of complaints from local residents or businesses concerning strange tastes or materials in the water.

Complaints about mains water should in the first instance be made to South West Water Customer Helpline on 0800 1691144 or www.southwestwater.co.uk.
