CO is split between three companies. Colchester is divided between Anglian Water and Essex & Suffolk Water, and the Tendring peninsula (Clacton-on-Sea, Harwich, Manningtree) is supplied by Affinity Water's East region. They are separate companies with separate restrictions, so the supplier named on your water bill decides which rules apply to you.
