Utilities
As one of Britain’s largest water companies, Severn Trent impacts on over eight million people across the Midlands.
  • We provide our customers with fresh, clean drinking water every day – that’s about two billion litres. And when they’ve finished with it, we take it away again and clean and treat it before returning it safely to the environment.
  • We generate renewable power on our sites, through wind turbines, solar panels, and anaerobic digestion of specially grown crops, treated waste and food that isn’t for consumption.
  • We’ve signed up to the triple carbon pledge – to be carbon zero, to use all renewable power, and to have an all-electric fleet of vehicles by 2030.
