Domestic Private Water Supply Specialists

Safe & Reliable Water for Rural Homes

A private water supply is a supply not on the ‘mains’. Mains water is drinking water provided by a Utility. The main Utility Companies in the North of England are Yorkshire Water, Northumbrian Water and United Utilities. A private water supply is called ‘private’ as it is privately owned. Most private water supplies in the North of England are located in rural parts of counties such as Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria and Derbyshire.

Private Water Supply

Owner & User Responsibilities

Private water supplies vary in quality. Some supplies have good water treatment and are well maintained, while others leave a lot to be desired.

The Drinking Water Inspectorate regulates mains water supplies. Local councils are responsible for regulating private water supplies in their area and report to the Drinking Water Inspectorate. The standards for water quality appropriate to a private water supply are laid out in the Private Water Supply Regulations.

Protecting Water Quality

Domestic Water Purification

Owners and users of a private water supply can take measures to improve water quality. The main ones are:

Water Filtration

The installation of a correctly sized and appropriate water filtration system, including a good quality UV and pre-filtration

 

Protected Water Storage

Ensuring that stored water installed after the UV Disinfection is properly sealed and is rodent proof

Source Protection

Preventing grazing animals from getting close to the water source and reducing surface water entering where the water emerges from the ground.
