We aim to provide excellent wholesale services that support you and your customers. Our team understands that to excel in the competitive market, you need first class support from your wholesaler.

Wholesale charges & policies

 

We provide wholesale water supply services to non-household customers via their Retailer. Non-household customers are able to choose their retailer, who will bill the customer.

We're required to operate under a set of policies in the new market, in particular relating to data logging, meter usage and leakage allowance.
