Frequently asked questions

Who supplies the water in Trowbridge?

Wessex Water supplies Trowbridge. You can reach them on 0345 600 4 600.

I can see water leaking in the road — who do I tell?

Report it to Wessex Water on 0345 600 4 600. Leaks in the road or pavement are on the public network, which is theirs to fix — anyone can report one, and it costs nothing.

I have no water — what should I do?

Check with a neighbour first. If they have no water either, the problem is likely on the mains — call Wessex Water on 0345 600 4 600. If it is only your property, check your internal stop tap is fully open; if it is, the fault may be on your own supply pipe — the part we repair and replace.

Who handles sewerage and drains in Trowbridge?

Your water comes from Wessex Water, but wastewater and sewerage in Trowbridge is handled by Wessex Water / Thames Water / Southern Water — a separate company. The drains inside your property boundary are the owner's responsibility — that is the work we do.

Is the water hard or soft in Trowbridge?
