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.

The ESC surveys 5,800 water customers every 12 months across 16 state-owned urban and regional water corporations on four key areas: value for money, reputation in the community, level of trust and overall satisfaction.
Customers rated each area out of 10, and the ESC update these results each quarter to show the previous twelve months of survey results.
