Hi

Forum members are going to think whats has Endesa got to do with a Water Leak. I think you need to edit your Heading to "Emabesa"

Thanks

I have been back to Emabesa office now 4 times because I am still waiting for the boss to ring me and confirm when they will pay me the settlement they owe me, last time the lady in the office said boss would ring me when i asked if she could hurry it up a little she just said the boss is the boss and she could not hurry the guy up. Any suggestions as to what I need to do now otherwise this will go on for ever, is the complaints book the next way forward.
Thank you

i'm surprised that they even offered to refund anything, normally if its on your land or after the water meter then they are not interested.

but it looks like you are going to struggle getting the money back ... :(

I was a bit suprised myself but it was the repairer plumber who told me as it was an official repair IVA included they say because the water has not entered the drains there is a claim against Emabesa ?

We have had a similar problem this month, our leak was also on our land between the meter and the house, but our water company AGUA LAURO have been really helpful and kind.
Ours was also an invisible leak and we were made aware of it because they sent an engineer out to warn us of excessive consumption of water.
They next explained in English via email how to sort the problem and give us some help with the bills. They told us to take the repair bill( which was almost the same as yours), photographs of the repairs and take them to the recaudacion patronato and ask for a reclamation form which they filled in for us. With our new efficient offices in Alhaurin de la Torre, were seen in one minute and the whole thing only took 5 minutes. The water rep then told us a site visit would be required to confirm what we had told them. They called within 4 hours and checked the repair on the same day. Our first bill was 200 euros and there is a new one for 360 euros which they are going to help us with a reduction. We are to take the new March bill to them and then she will sort that out. Have to say we were very impressed by it all.
I hope this has been of help to you incase there is a part of the procedure that may have been missed.
