Welsh Water is different from other water or energy companies. We don’t have shareholders. This means that we’re able to keep bills down, and put every single penny we make straight back into looking after the water and beautiful environment . We Supply 3 million people, 1.4m homes and businesses. 4th largest company in Wales, 3500 staff and 26500km water mains 30,000km of sewers.
Our scientists carry out hundreds of thousands of tests on our water every year, whilst our engineers gather water and send it through thousands of miles of pipes to reach our customers’ taps. We use part of the waste we treat to generate power, which we then use to run some of our sites. We are also responsible for the treatment and recycling of around 55,000 tons per year of biosolids (sludge) supporting the reduction in chemical fertiliser use in Wales and managing this important resource.
We also work with schools to encourage children to love and value water. Our activities, led by seconded teachers, equip pupils to become global citizens, with an understanding of sustainability and its impact on the local community.
Our Vision – “To earn the trust of our customers everyday
