Unresolved Matters
If you are not satisfied with the way your feedback was handled, or with the outcome, the Managing Customer Feedback procedure provides an opportunity for your complaint to be escalated within SA Water. If this action is required you may telephone 1300 650 950 and request a return call from our customer advocate or email your concerns to customeradvocate@sawater.com.au
If all internal options have failed your expectations, our Customer Advocate will suggest an independent, external option to pursue your complaint.
