Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey
Westernport Water has been undertaking an annual Customer Satisfaction Survey for over 10 years. Since 2014, Westernport Water has partnered other Gippsland Water Corporations including Gippsland, South Gippsland and East Gippsland Water to run a survey which interviews 1,600 customers, 400 from each participating water corporation.
The survey seeks to identify and evaluate customer perceptions towards products and services and explores satisfaction with drinking water and wastewater services, perceptions of drinking water quality, value for money, overall customer satisfaction and customer trust.

We are currently offering tours to the Recycled Water Treatment Plant and the Candowie Reservoir and Ian Bartlett Water Purification Plant.
