During and after treatment
The water then goes through a thorough screening and cleaning process to remove unwanted particles, dirt and debris.
Throughout the whole process, we constantly check the water using online monitors to ensure it’s safe to drink. The water is then pumped to storage reservoirs or fed through our 13,959 km of pipes to your taps. We treat over 563 million litres of water each day – that’s enough to make everyone in the UK 33 cups of tea!
