Where does it come from?

If you live or work in Derbsyhire your drinking water may be supplied from a water treatment works taking water from the River Derwent or it may be pumped from underground aquifers.

To make it clean enough for you to drink, the raw water travels through a series of processes designed to remove the solid particles, chemicals and micro-organisms, leaving the water ready to drink.

Water is a very precious resource. To find out more about looking after water, using it wisely, visiting our sites and the work of Severn Trent Water visit our website www.stwater.co.uk.
