We are proud to provide a sustainable, affordable, clean and safe water supply and to manage and treat the waste water returned to us in a way that protects the environment.
Northumbrian Water, which operates in the north of England and also the drier south east, is focusing on three areas to evaluate the impact of climate change: the water that is available to us, the security of our supplies and our response to storm events. In order to demonstrate our commitment we are contributing to the reduction of the overall impacts of climate change by addressing our use of energy, implementing energy efficiency in the short term and renewables in the long term.
We have a responsibility to ensure adequate future supplies of drinking water regardless of the potential changes to the natural environment that climate change may create. We work to ensure that our customers can rely on a safe and available water supply and to minimise the impacts of extreme storm rainfall on properties and the environment.
We are committed to contributing to the reduction of the overall impacts of climate change by assessing our transportation requirements, reducing our energy use and cutting down our carbon emissions.
