We may be heading up your street…and down the sewer
Every time you take a shower, flush the loo or wash the dishes the used water is carried along a vast underground network of drains and sewers to our wastewater treatment works, so it can be cleaned and then safely returned to watercourses within the local environment. With over 72,000 kilometres of sewers to maintain across the North West, we’re carrying out a major programme of work to help prevent sewer blockages or flooding and keep them running smoothly.
