Escalated complaint process
Toronto Water has established policies and procedures for handling complaints from customers who are not satisfied with the resolution of a complaint in regards to service, actions/lack of action by Toronto Water staff, or Toronto Water's current service standards.
Before submitting an official written complaint, you must first speak directly with 311 or the Toronto Water service area where you have an issue, as evidence that City staff attempted to satisfy your concerns. Most complaints are resolved promptly this way by Toronto Water staff.
However, if you are not satisfied with how your complaint was handled, you may complete and submit an official written complaint using this form. Your completed complaint form will be officially logged for public record in the Toronto Water Complaint Registry, then investigated and escalated for management review. Unless you are filing an anonymous complaint, this form must be completed in full and signed in order to ensure accuracy, transparency and consistency in addressing your concern. Only original copies will be accepted.
