NB: We have no connection with the water companies, if you have a specific enquiry relating to your service, please contact the company direct.
I save water by showering every day, but in the last week the pressure has been turned down making the water scalding hot showing low pressure. This has happenned frequently over the past two years and have complainned.
Posted by Joyce Hannan, 08th April 2010I wonder why it is that in Fareham we have 2 water bills, I know one is waste and 1 drinking water, why can't Portsmouth Water bill us for both? I'm on a meter and have no choice being in a housing assoc. flat and the amount of trouble I have getting an accurate bill from Southern is ridiculous with southern always saying Portsmouth haven't submitted the reading to them . Why not allow Portsmouth to just supply both??
