Goulburn-Murray Water's (GMW) service standards are our service delivery commitment and provide a measure for GMW to monitor performance against.

Service standards are derived from the priorities that our customers have identified as important to them, and specify the quality, availability, and reliability of the services customers can expect to receive from GMW.

As part of our engagement for Pricing Submission 2024-28, we are seeking to identify whether customers require any changes to our service standards.

What are we asking you?

We are asking our customers for feedback on our proposed service standards.
