The water treatment process

We head inside one of our water treatment centres to find out the journey from raw water to our taps in this step-by-step guide to the process and all the work that is involved to deliver high quality water to our customers.

Hello, please could you give some insight as to whether I should be concerned about buying a house 190 meters from the rear end of a large sewage treatment plant? Should I worry about health impacts of bioaerosols in the nearby air? Thank you, Amanda

Fouling can form inside the pipe in my house, how do you deal with that? What if for some reasons bacteria enter the water pipes outside the water treatment plant? How about the composition of the ions or minerals? Do you also monitor that?

[@wessex-water]

Drinking water contains a residual amount of chlorine which protects pipes from fouling and safeguards drinking water as it travels through pipes from treatment plants to customers. We collect and test samples throughout all stages (including at customers taps) for bacteria and a wide range of other measurements.
