Your water this summer
Fun water fights. Laughing children. Gulping down an ice-cold glass of water. These are the sounds of summer.
Because whether for fun, cooling down or just re-hydrating – water makes summer!
Did you know our weather is changing
We all love the great British summer, don’t we?
But we’ve just seen the driest March and sunniest April for 60 years. So there’s less water in rivers and reservoirs – it’s more precious than ever.
That’s why our Severn Trenters are right now working around the clock to make sure there’s plenty of water to go around. So when the sun comes out, temperatures creep up, and we all need more water – it’s there when you need it.
Changes to your water
At this time of year your water might look or taste slightly different. It’s nothing to worry about – we’re often moving water around the network to make sure it gets to you when you need it. So it might not quite be what you’re used to.

Check out our reservoir levels
Right now our reservoirs are looking healthy across our region. But it's right for everyone to think about how they use water and ways they can save it.
Our teams always work around the clock, monitoring demand and moving water around our network so everyone remains on supply.

Our people, proudly serving our region for 50 years
Past, present and future, we’re growing, learning, and investing in our network too. But, one thing that’s never changed is the passion of our people. There’s a whole army of Severn Trenters working to get our wonderful water to you (and the not-so-nice water away again).

Protecting our environment
Over the last few years we have seen temperatures rise during the summer period, this means there is more demand for water during these periods, which is why being water efficient all year round is even more important.
There is lots of ways you can play an important role in reducing water demand, such as reporting leaks, installing water-efficient fixtures, and collecting rainwater, all year round, to water your garden during the drier months.
Saving water all year round is great for the environment and our water supply, plus you can save you a few pennies if you're on a meter too. Find out more about how water is changing.
