What are Customers Have to say
We are in a very elevated area of the scheme and have occasionally suffered with water pressure problems. The recent installation of a new water booster station in our area has now resolved the issue and we are very happy with our consistent pressurised water supply and our water quality.

“During the recent annual water meter reading, I was informed that I had a leak which had increased my water bill substantially. The scheme assisted me in finding the leak and once I had it repaired, they informed me that I could avail of a leak allowance. Excellent customer service!! I have found that since this committee employed their new manager that the service has been exceptional in all my dealings with them”

“Since we started getting our water from Callow Water in recent years there has been a huge improvement in the supply and quality of the water, and we are very satisfied with the service”
