South Staffs region
South Staffordshire Water was formed in 1853 to provide water to inhabitants of the Black Country.

Today, we supply water to 1.3 million people and cover an area of 1490 square kilometres, which includes Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley, Tamworth, Uttoxeter, Burton, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Cannock.

The water we supply is taken from Blithfield Reservoir, the River Severn and some 26 groundwater sites located across our area of supply.

On average we supply 330million litres of water every day, which is distributed through nearly 6000km of water mains.

Cambridge region
Following our merger with Cambridge Water in April 2013, we also provide water to 319,000 people living in an area of 730 square kilometres around the city of Cambridge. This extends to Ramsey in the north, Gamlingay in the west, Balsham in the east and Melbourn in the south.

Cambridge Water was also formed in 1853 and supplies high quality underground water that is pumped from boreholes in chalk aquifers.

Both businesses now operate under a single water licence.

The company does not provide wastewater services, but bills customers on behalf of Severn Trent Water in the South Staffs region and Anglian Water in the Cambridge region.
