About us

We supply 160 million litres of clean water every day to over 750,000 people in parts of Surrey, Kent and south London. Our supply area is 322 square miles extending from Morden and South Croydon in the north to Gatwick Airport in the south and from Cobham, Leatherhead and Dorking in the west to Edenbridge in the east. 

Groundwater supplies provide 85 per cent of our water with 15 per cent being extracted from our reservoir at Bough Beech near Edenbridge.  

We maintain over 2000 miles of water mains and have eight treatment works, 23 pumping stations and 31 operational service reservoirs and water towers. 

Depending where you live, your wastewater services are provided by either Thames Water or Southern Water.
