Water UK

WATER UK

Water sustains the lives of every man woman and child on Earth. It is the most precious resource we possess yet it's often the one we take most for granted. Water sustains our wildlife and our plants; it drives our weather systems and shapes our landscape.

In the United Kingdom water is supplied to homes and businesses by different types of organisations. In England and Wales these are privately-owned companies; in Scotland they are publicly-owned water operators and in Northern Ireland the government's Northern Ireland Water Service.

Water UK is the organisation which brings together the UK's water suppliers at a national level. We're here to promote all that's best about the UK's water industry. We also provide help advice and expertise on all aspects of the water and sewage business.

We want to listen to what other people have to say about the industry.

Water UK enables the water industry to address issues of common interest and communicates its views to those outside. It works for positive conditions in which the industry can best make its essential contribution to the national economy and quality of life.

Working in partnership Water UK helps the industry to develop by:

Looking ahead to define and communicate its policies at national level

Caring for its reputation

Providing forums for debate about water and waste water and the future of utilities

Being a focus for accessible and reliable information
