Yorkshire Water
Yorkshire Water manages the collection, treatment and distribution of water to around 2 million homes throughout Yorkshire, supplying 1.3 billion litres of treated water every day, as well as collecting, treating and disposing of about one billion litres of wastewater safely back into the environment.
This is made possible with an asset base of more than 700 water and sewage treatment works, 62,000 miles of water and sewerage mains and 120 reservoirs across Yorkshire.
