South West Water has implemented various initiatives and managed service issues in Devon. Initially, the company launched a program to provide free water-saving devices, such as shower regulators, tap aerators, and leak detection strips, to help metered households reduce consumption and lower bills.

Following this, the utility provider addressed supply disruptions in several towns, including Paignton, Kingsbridge, Buckfastleigh, and Totnes. These disruptions, caused by equipment problems at a water treatment works and air pockets in the network, resulted in low pressure. Engineers worked to restore service, and bottled water stations were established in Kingsbridge and Dartington to assist residents during the repairs.
