Yorkshire H_(2)O

摘要

Yorkshire Water Services is part of the Kelda Group and provides households and businesses in the Yorkshire region with their water and sewerage services 24 hours a day. It supplies water to a population of 4.5 million domestic and around 140,000 business customers, operating 116 water treatment works producing 1.2 billion litres of water everyday. This means maintaining a network of 30,000 kilometres of water mains. As well as supplying water, the company has the task of operating 612 wastewater treatment works. These treat 0.8 billion litres of domestic sewage and industrial effluent, collected by 30,000 kilometres of sewers per year - more than enough pipe work to circle the earth. Yorkshire Water employs 2500 people and each one of them is considered a key player on the journey towards continuous improvement.
