Where does it come from?

If you live or work in Rutland your drinking water may be supplied from a reservoir, or pumped from underground aquifer. After being treated at the water treatment works.

To make it safe 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 clean, fresh and ready to drink. Some areas have water supplied by other water companies.

To find out more about your water and who supplies it, try our Water quality checker tool which is based on your postcode. This will tell you lots about your water supply including whether it's groundwater or surface water. Have a look at www.anglianwater.co.uk/your-area/water-quality  click on water quality information, pop in your postcode to find out more.
