It’s a big network, and a big responsibility. Every day 8 million people from Scunthorpe to Stroud rely on us to bring them clean water at the turn of a tap and take away their waste in one flush.

 

From planning, to digging, to inspecting we welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality.
