Dee Valley Water was formed in 1997 with the merger of the former
Chester Water Company and Wrexham Water Company. Both of these former
companies had roots which stretched back to the middle of the nineteenth
century.
It is a water supply only company and does not deal with the removal of
sewerage. The area of supply covers 831 square kilometres in North East
Wales and the North West of England and supplies 257,000 customers.
Based in Wrexham, Dee Valley Water operate eight impounding reservoirs,
two river abstractions and two groundwater sources to supply
approximately 62 million litres per day to over 257,000 customers.
Water is treated at six treatment works and the water is supplied
through a network of 1,960km of water mains, 25 pumping stations and 37
clean water storage reservoirs.
