Fun water fights and laughter, the gulping sounds of drinking a glass of ice cold water... these are the sounds of summer.
Because whether for fun, cooling down or re-hydrating - water makes summer!
That's why our people work around the clock, to make sure there’s plenty to go round, so that when the sun comes out, temperatures creep up, and when we all need more water – it’s there when you need it.
And no-one understands this as much as much as we do - because it’s our summer too. We’re working hard for our communities and the joy of summer – so we can all make memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Come rain or shine, let’s work together to have a great summer
We can all make small changes that will help keep water flowing this summer.
And after a rainy year, we’ve got plenty of water to go around, with our reservoirs looking healthy.
This summer, like you, we are hoping for lots more sunnier days so we can get outdoors and make some summer memories.
We all love our British summers, and that means enjoying more water too. But, with the population growing, and more people using more water, we all need to be a bit more careful in the warmer months.
There are a few small changes we can all make to save water and money in our homes – but most importantly, let’s make sure we’re all enjoying it.
Simple ways to save water
Save water at work
When the sun comes out, we'll be ready
For the majority of 2024 the Midlands has seen high levels of rainfall, with the last three months alone being above average for the time of year. This means our reservoirs are nice and full, at 90%.
Whilst the weather has seemed hit and miss so far, there is always a chance the sun will make an appearance, and the weather will warm up. And when this happens, we usually see an increase in demand levels too.
To make things a little easier if and when the weather does warm up, please think about your water usage and what you and your family can do to help save water this summer.
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).
