Wessex Water has launched a new mobile app game intended to entertain and educate customers on what it does as a company and to provide advice on saving money and protecting their home.
The water company describes the app - known as WOWSER! - World Of Water, Sewage, Environment and Recreation-, as a fun, interactive app suitable for all ages which takes the user through a range of fast-paced challenges and tasks that demonstrate the various responsibilities of the company, some of which the customer doesn't always see in real life.
Introducing the app, Wessex Water said:
“From LeakStoppers to wet wipes and pipe lagging to petri dishes, WOWSER! aims to give a realistic yet simple overview of some of the jobs and important messages in the water industry.”
Wessex Water’s digital communications team have been working on the app since May 2015.
Digital communications manager, Clive Tugwell, said:
"The game is all about raising awareness of the diverse and varied workforce within the water industry and the types of activities we undertake to ensure we remain number one for customer service, protect the environment and ensure clean and safe drinking water is provided 24/7.”
"We hope users will enjoy interacting with the app to learn more about the issues we face as a business and the challenges met by our great employees."
The game is now available to download on the Apple App Store and the Google Play store for Android devices.
