How to avoid a boundary mistake
Check the drinking-water supplier on the bill. Wessex wastewater services alone do not establish that Wessex supplies the tap water.
- Confirm Wessex Water supplies the drinking water.
- Read the current supplier notice.
- Check the supplier’s exemptions before using a hosepipe.
