Severn Trent

Severn Trent provides fresh, clean drinking water to more than eight million people across the Midlands, supplying around two billion litres a day. Its service area stretches from the outskirts of Sheffield to Bristol and into north and mid-Wales. The company also collects, treats and returns wastewater to the environment.

The work depends on a large and varied asset base: pipes, treatment works and reservoirs, which the company maintains as part of its operational remit. Its technical domains span water treatment, wastewater treatment, network asset management, leakage reduction and water efficiency, alongside renewable energy generation through wind turbines, solar panels and anaerobic digestion. Environmental activity includes habitat restoration and tree planting.

Severn Trent operates in the water and wastewater utilities, environmental services and renewable energy sectors. Alongside its core services, it offers customer support and affordability services for people who need help with their bills or with using water more efficiently. Operational priorities include reducing leaks, sewer flooding and supply interruptions.

The company describes its purpose as taking care of life's essentials for the communities it serves, and brings together operational, engineering, customer and environmental expertise across teams.
