## About
### About us
Clearwater Utilities is a licensed water and wastewater retailer serving Sydney, Newcastle and the Central Coast. Our defining feature is boring and important: if a concealed leak spikes your bill, the allowance is applied automatically.

We also alert you before the bill arrives, because finding a leak in week one costs a fraction of finding it in week twelve.
### Mission
Make a water bill something you find out about early and can question easily.
### Values
Allowances applied automatically. Concessions applied to the bill, not claimed back. And alerts sent before the bill, not with it.
### Sustainability & ESG
We publish system-wide leakage and per-customer consumption annually. Average residential use across our book fell 6.2% over three years, mostly through alerting rather than pricing.
### Our approach
Interval metering, automatic anomaly detection, and a human on the phone who can see the same data you can.
### Privacy policy
Clearwater Utilities collects only what it needs to do the work, keeps it for three years, and anonymises rather than deletes so the record of what happened survives the person leaving.
### How to complain, and what happens next
A complaint reaches the owner the same day. You get an answer within two working days and a named person who owns it until it is closed.

## Recent reviews
- ★★★★★ Fiona C.: Alerted me before the bill — Text message saying usage had tripled. Found a running toilet the same day. Would have been a $900 bill.
- ★★★★ Strata Plan 41288: Sub-metering finally makes sense — Per-unit metering and per-unit billing across 34 apartments. Ended years of arguments at AGMs.
- ★★ Priya N.: Booked in, waited all day, nobody came and nobody called. I took the day off for nothing.
## FAQ
Q: How does the leak allowance work?
A: If a concealed leak pushes your usage above your normal pattern, we apply an allowance automatically. You don't lodge a dispute or prove hardship — the interval data shows it and we adjust.
Q: Will you tell me before a huge bill arrives?
A: Yes. If usage jumps materially against your own history you get an SMS within 48 hours. Most people find a running toilet or a garden tap.
Q: Do I have to claim my concession?
A: No. Pensioner, Health Care and DVA concessions are applied to the bill directly once we've verified the card.
Q: Can you sub-meter my apartment building?
A: Yes — that's most of our strata work. Each unit gets its own meter and its own bill, and common property is billed separately.
