Monitoring and managing our supplies

Water is a precious resource and we encourage our customers to use it wisely, whatever the weather.

Thanks to our forward planning and the flexibility in our water network, we can balance our stored resources in a way that helps us manage supplies during drier periods. We also use artificial intelligence to manage our supplies in a way that cuts our energy use too, helping our environmental performance.
