Business
United Utilities Group PLC operates as the United Kingdom's largest listed water company, providing regulated water supply and wastewater services to approximately 7.3 million people across North West England, including Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, most of Cheshire and parts of Derbyshire; it collects raw water predominantly from reservoirs such as Thirlmere and Haweswater in the Lake District National Park, rivers, lakes and boreholes across 56,000 hectares of managed land, treats and distributes potable water through an extensive network, manages 48,000 miles of wastewater pipes serving three million households and 200,000 businesses, treats sewage at nearly 600 wastewater treatment works, and generates renewable energy from 37 facilities. The company, founded in 1995 through the merger of North West Water and NORWEB and headquartered in Warrington, England, focuses on infrastructure upgrades, environmental improvements and customer service under Ofwat regulation during the AMP8 period (2025-2030). In recent developments, United Utilities has expanded its supply chain partnerships, appointing six firms including Lloyd Morris, WH Good, RSE, Quantum, Cema and Bridges to its Motor Control Centre Framework in October 2025 to support record AMP8 investments in modular and bespoke solutions for water and wastewater assets, and awarded United Living Infrastructure Services a position on a ten-year framework worth circa 150 million pounds in June 2024 as part of a 2.75 billion pounds programme with 18 partners for design, build and commissioning of pipelines, pumping stations, reservoirs and sewer works to reduce storm overflows and enhance regional resilience.
