Reservoir safety teacher's guide

When the weather starts warming up, people (especially young people) may be tempted to take a dip in their local reservoir to cool down. But rather than being a bit of fun, swimming in reservoirs, quarries, lakes and similar bodies of open water, is very dangerous. That’s why we’ve produced this guide to help teachers highlight important messages around water safety to children.

Heavy rainfall and sewer flooding

Heavy rainfall across the North West may be causing flooding in some parts of the region. Our teams are out working hard across the region helping our customers who have experienced sewer flooding in their homes.

If you’re experiencing flooding from a road or footpath and there is no evidence of sewage (toilet paper etc.) please report this to your local council, who are responsible for highways drainage flooding.

Please be aware that our phone lines are much busier than normal, take a look at our flooding page for further advice on what to do if you’re affected by flooding.
