We have three customer service codes: two for urban water businesses, and another for rural ones. These codes specify the standards and conditions that water businesses must comply with when they provide water or wastewater services to customers.
Customer service codes
Overview
In line with our customer service codes, Victorian water businesses are required to:
- follow the customer-related standards, procedures and practices set out in the code that is relevant to them
- develop, issue and comply with a customer charter that meets the procedural and substantive requirements of the relevant code, and sets out the water business’s approved service standards.
These codes also reflect changes we made as a result of:
