Some folk (we’ll name no names but she’s a thrifty granny with a penchant for headscarves and curlers!) ask us why we charge for something that falls free from the sky. Of course, the water itself is free. You’re paying for us to collect, screen, clarify and treat it to high standards and pump it to you. And maintain over 100 reservoirs, 83 treatment works and enough pipework to stretch from York to New York! What do you think? Should water be free? Join the debate - post a comment below.

Blog Action Day - 15th October
Blog Action Day is an annual event held every October 15 that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day with the aim of sparking a global discussion and driving collective action.
This year the blog subject is water, and the main issue up for discussion is the fact that almost a billion people across the globe don't have access to safe, clean drinking water.
As one of the UK's major providers of drinking water, this is clearly an issue that is close to our hearts and we will be using this blog to highlight some of the work with have done in partnership with international charity WaterAid to try and address this problem in developing nations.
We would also love to get your thoughts on this in terms of what else could be done, examples of any success stories that you may have come across, any individual or company achievements and also just people's general views on this issue.
Throughout the day we will be making regular updates to this blog but for further information you can visit the official website
