Community events in Essex - Sandy
Come and meet Sandy
We're coming to your area in our new Community Engagement Vehicle, called Sandy to talk to you about about anything water related.
We'll let you know what a smart meter means for you and answer any questions you have. Plus, we'll make sure you're aware of the extra support we provide, such as financial help, free Priority Services and water saving advice.
