Our performance
Progress against our five-year customer commitment.
How we're tracking
2021-22 Quarter 3 update
We’ve seen a welcome return to service levels this quarter, meeting almost all of our targets with an overall ‘green’ indicator for performance. We’ve made significant progress despite ongoing resourcing constraints impacting both employees and contractors as a result of the pandemic.
While complaints and customer satisfaction remain outside the targets set back in 2018, we’re comfortable that the right level of support and accessibility is available to customers when and how they need it. Our ability to respond in a timely manner over the phone and out in the field has been a source of dissatisfaction recently. We continue to review and adjust our delivery teams to provide the highest levels of service we can under the circumstances. Significant progress has also been made in relation to our recycled water targets in growth areas. We’ve already achieved the forecast 13% increase in customers receiving recycled water this year. We were behind on this target last year, so overall we’re still just outside the initial target for 2021-22.
The remaining 14 metrics are all inside our targets for the year to date. We continue to focus and deliver on the commitments we made to our customers as we enter the final quarter of the financial year. Work is already underway with employees, our customer panel and other advocates to make sure our service levels continue to evolve and deliver even greater value in future through our 2023 Pricing Submission.
