Support with coronavirus
Coronavirus is a short-term illness and water supply disruptions are rare. We want to help as many customers as we can during this difficult time, but we always need to prioritise those who have a medical need for water.
If your water stops at home, please ask friends, family or neighbours to support you with getting bottled water.
If your water stops for an extended time, you’re unable to leave the house and those supporting you in other ways (such as grocery shopping) cannot bring you water, we’ll do our best to deliver some – if this is the case, please call our 24 hour helpline on 0800 316 9800.
If you need other support, visit Age UK, Citizens Advice and Mind.
