Our drinking water is of the highest standard when leaving our treatment works but we know that customers’ pipework and repairs to our mains network can affect the quality of water coming out of the tap.

We encourage anyone having work done on their household plumbing to use trusted and qualified plumbers registered with the industry body WaterSafe. These plumbers have undergone specific training in the Water Fitting Regulations and byelaws which are designed to keep customers’ drinking water safe.
