Your water is tested 640 times a day

Every glass of water we supply is treated at one of our four works and tested on the way to your tap. Last year we took 168,000 samples across the catchment and 99.96% met or bettered the standards set in law.

We publish the results for every supply zone, including hardness, chlorine and lead. If you want the figures for your own street, enter your postcode and we will show you the last twelve months.
