Where Does Liverpool Get Its Water?

Liverpool's water comes from a managed network of reservoirs, rivers, and aquifers, operated by United Utilities:

Major Reservoirs (North Wales)

• Llyn Celyn (Snowdonia) – 38.9 billion gallons
• Lake Vyrnwy (Snowdonia) – 12.1 billion gallons
• Alwen Reservoir (Denbighshire) – 6.3 billion gallons

Rain and snowmelt collected, treated, then piped to Liverpool.

River Dee

Dee Water Treatment Works (near Chester) treats 275 million litres/day, pumped to Liverpool.

Groundwater

Underground aquifers (porous rock/sand) provide naturally filtered water.

United Utilities ensures safety, reliability, and wastewater treatment across the North West.
