Dear Shetland Islands Council,
I am making this request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am attempting to find which areas have received the most water complaints in the UK.
My questions are as follows:
1) How many water complaints did you receive in the years, 2021, 2022 and 2023?
2) What are the reasons for the complaints?
a. The quality of the water
b. The water pressure
c. Interruption to water supply
d. Unhappy with service
e. Water pipes
f. Costs
g. Damages
h. Other, please specify
3) How much have you had to pay out in connection with water complaints during the years 2022, 2022 and 2023? In pounds (£).
Yours faithfully,
Naomi

Dear Ms Aharony
Thank you for your Freedom of Information enquiry. I can confirm the response from the Shetland Islands Council is detailed below:

2021 2022 2023

N/A Damages Other - Letter threatening disconnection
3) How much have you had to pay out in connection with water complaints during the years 2022, 2022 and 2023? In pounds (£).
N/A - as these were complaints about other organisations (and not complaints about Shetland Islands Council).
I trust that this response meets your request. However, if you are dissatisfied with the way in which the Council has dealt with your request for information then you may ask the authority to review its actions and decisions in relation to your request, by submitting a formal appeal. The process for lodging appeals is set out in the attached leaflet.
