About us
South West Water is part of Pennon Group plc. We provide reliable, efficient and high quality drinking water and waste water services throughout Cornwall and Devon and in small areas of Dorset and Somerset. We also look after the region's bathing waters and coastline. South West Water came into being in 1989 with the privatisation of the water industry. We inherited a water system suffering from a century of neglect but, thanks to the tireless work of our 1,300 employees, have brought the region's drinking water, sewerage systems and bathing waters into line with the stringent UK and European Union standards. This extensive programme of environmental improvement has resulted in some of the finest bathing waters in Europe, picturesque scenery and clean rivers with stunning wildlife. We believe that by investing in the future of our region, we are not only improving the quality of life for today's residents and visitors but are also taking responsibility for future generations.

Last week we celebrated National Allotment Week by supporting one of the biggest allotment sites in the South West! 🌼🍅 🍏 Through the support of our Water Saving Community Fund, the Guys and Hylton Allotments in Exwick, Exeter, were able to purchase four additional IBC containers 💦 Each of these containers can hold 1000 litres of rainwater, meaning all the allotments can now benefit from an additional 4000 litres of harvested rainwater three to four times a year 🌧️ Gerald Tallamy, from the Guys and Hylton Allotments, said: “Being green thumbed as we are, all of us here at the allotments are aware of the tole that the hot summer months can take on water supply. Having this rainwater harvesting system in place will ensure that we save any water where possible, reduce our reliance on mains supply and cut down on allotment costs too.” Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e2-Z8A58 #Allotment #NationalAllotmentWeek #CommunitySupport

🚀 Exciting Internship Experience! As part of my role as a Data Analyst Intern with the Compliance Team at South West Water , I had the unique opportunity to participate in hands-on training at a sewage treatment works. This experience provided invaluable insights into the operational aspects of wastewater management, allowing me to better understand the critical data needed to support our team’s compliance goals. By witnessing the processes firsthand, I gained a deeper appreciation for the intricate systems that ensure environmental standards are met. This training will undoubtedly enhance my ability to contribute meaningfully to the team's objectives. Looking forward to applying this knowledge to drive impactful results! Thanks to Tyler F. and Abbie Johnson for the support. #DataAnalytics #Compliance #WastewaterManagement #ProfessionalGrowth #InternshipJourney

Its great to actually see the incredible work taking place up on Dartmoor by the South West Peatland Partnership come to life with these pictures 🌿 #PeatlandRestoration #Peatlands #Dartmoor
➡ Swipe to jump back by 6 months This is our largest and most remote #Dartmoor peatland restoration site to date, where SWPP worked through last winter to raise and stabilise the water table. Contractors tackled the ongoing drying out of peat by slowing down the flow of water, blocking drains and erosion channels. Pools of water formed immediately behind the blocks (second image) and it's great to see it all 6 months on, as works resume on other parts of the site for the season, all greened up and the first peat-forming sphagnum mosses colonising these pools (first image). We're working in partnership to restore our incredible peatlands across Cornwall, Exmoor and Dartmoor so that insects, plants, and birds can thrive, carbon is kept in the ground, water quality is improved and the conditions are created for peat to form once more. SWPP is proud to be a collective of 20+ organisations working together with landowners, farmers, commoners, charities, local interest groups and volunteers to restore dried and degraded peatlands across the South West. SWPP is funded by Natural England South West Water #DuchyOfCornwall National Trust Cornwall Council Environment Agency IUCN UK Peatland Programme
