We know overflows are operating more than we, or our customers, would like, and we wanted to update you on the steps we’re taking to address this. In the last two years, our colleagues and partners have been working on improving 142 storm overflows throughout Yorkshire to reduce discharges and improve water quality in the region's watercourses. This has contributed to a 12% reduction in discharges and a 17% reduction in discharge duration in 2024 compared to 2023. Currently, 84 overflows across

We know many of our customers are interested to know more about dredging and why we haven’t dredged our reservoirs to increase capacity. So, this week Dave is at Scammonden reservoir near Huddersfield, to explain a bit more about the process and what we’re doing instead to safeguard Yorkshire’s water resources. Our reservoirs are currently at 87.5% and whilst they’re in a much healthier position, the hosepipe restrictions remain in place. Please be assured, we will not keep them in place any lon

Work is underway to install more renewable energy systems across our treatment works and pumping stations, supporting our goal of generating at least 40% of our own operational energy by 2030. As part of this project, five new solar farm sites at Filey, Malton, Belle Vue, Monk Bretton, and Harrogate South were recently switched on. The process of treating clean water, getting it to your homes and businesses, and treating wastewater before safely returning it to the environment uses a lot of ener

It’s safe to say that 2025 has been challenging for our reservoirs. Earlier in the year, we had the driest spring and summer for well over a century, followed by six months of drought in Yorkshire. This saw some of our reservoirs' levels drop drastically, reaching a combined lowest average capacity of 30.6% during September.💧 Thankfully they're now back to a much healthier level, after some very welcome rainfall, drought permits, and the incredible efforts from our customers and colleagues.

This year has been exceptionally dry, with Yorkshire experiencing the driest spring on record in 132 years. We’ve now had seven months of below-average rainfall, and our reservoir levels are continuing to drop. To help us prepare for the months ahead and refill our reservoirs over winter, we’ve applied for drought permits from the Environment Agency. These permits would temporarily allow us to: 🔹 Take more water from rivers to maintain supply 🔹 Reduce how much water we release from reservoirs

We recently welcomed local visitors and organisations to our Clayton West wastewater treatment site in West Yorkshire to see the progress we’re making on a £14m nature-based wetland solution. Working with Mott MacDonald Bentley, we’re creating a 4.3-hectare wetland with 13 interconnected ponds. These ponds will provide an additional low-carbon and natural layer of treatment to wastewater before returning it to the river Dearne. This process will significantly improve the quality of the water in

This year, the Met Office announced that we had the warmest and driest spring on record, and we’re potentially soon going to have had one of the hottest summers yet. This unusual weather has put a real strain on our water resources. As a result, reservoir levels are down to 39.1%, which is 35.1% lower than the average for this time of year. To help protect Yorkshire’s water supplies so there’s enough for everyone, now and in the months ahead, the hosepipe restrictions are still in place. In this
