Since the Company's early beginnings, the beautiful Mendip hills have played an important part in Bristol's water supply. Blagdon Reservoir and Chew Lake, the company's largest collection reservoirs, can hold nearly 30,000 million litres of Mendip water between them. However, today the River Severn is the Company's largest single source, capable of supplying more than half the area's daily needs via the open air water main that is the Sharpness Canal. In all, Bristol Water can take water from over 60 different sources - reservoirs, rivers, springs, well and boreholes - linked by an increasingly flexible integrated distribution system enabling the Company to make the most economical use of them in terms of cost, energy and conservation.
