We are the largest water only supply company in the United Kingdom.  Everyday we deliver 900 million of litres of safe, high quality drinking water to 3.6 million customers in parts of North West London and the Home Counties.  

Our vision is to be the UK’s leading community focused water company. To achieve this, it is important that our customers understand the value of water, reduce consumption, and support ongoing protection of the environment.   This vision sets us apart in our industry and reflects the importance we place on our people working within and for the communities of customers we serve. By understanding and responding to the needs of different community groups, we are accountable to them at a local level for how well we provide our services. Dividing our supply area in eight communities named after local rivers, allows us to tailor a high-quality service to customers at a local level.
