SOUTHERN WATER

Southern Water is the private utility company responsible for the public wastewater collection and treatment. We take nearly 70 percent of the water from underground sources, called aquifers, 23 percent from rivers and seven percent from storage reservoirs. Each day we also treat and recycle 717 million liters of wastewater at 365 treatment works after it is pumped through a network of 3,243 pumping stations and 39,594 kilometers of sewers. We are owned by Greensands Investments Limited, a consortium made up of pension and infrastructure funds.
