Greener

We protect and enhance urban and rural environments, and adapt to the challenges of climate change, allowing people, wildlife and nature to thrive, making the North West a better place to live now and for the future.

Healthier

We provide great quality water that people love to drink, safely remove and recycle used water, whilst taking care of beautiful landscapes in the North West every day.

Our core values demonstrate the way we work, and we want to ensure these are clear and easy for all our colleagues to apply to every situation.
