This year has been exceptionally dry, with Yorkshire experiencing the driest spring on record in 132 years. We’ve now had seven months of below-average rainfall, and our reservoir levels are continuing to drop. To help us prepare for the months ahead and refill our reservoirs over winter, we’ve applied for drought permits from the Environment Agency. These permits would temporarily allow us to: 🔹 Take more water from rivers to maintain supply 🔹 Reduce how much water we release from reservoirs

This year, the Met Office announced that we had the warmest and driest spring on record, and we’re potentially soon going to have had one of the hottest summers yet. This unusual weather has put a real strain on our water resources. As a result, reservoir levels are down to 39.1%, which is 35.1% lower than the average for this time of year. To help protect Yorkshire’s water supplies so there’s enough for everyone, now and in the months ahead, the hosepipe restrictions are still in place. In this

With the snowy and icy conditions, we may see more burst water pipes across the region due to the changes in temperature causing the ground to move and damage pipes. We know that running leaks can often turn to ice and we understand this can be concerning, but we want to reassure you that we are working to tackle these. To help us fix leaks quicker over the winter, we’ve brought in extra people who have joined our leakage team to find and fix leaks in all weather conditions as quickly as they ca
