What we're working on
There’s work happening in Leeds and Bradford to improve local watercourses and make water services more reliable. Here’s a look at some of the projects in your area.
What’s happening?
Leeds
We're investing in Leeds with projects to improve the local watercourses, replace clean water pipes, build wetland and nature-based solutions. We're also improving the sewer network to help reduce flooding and disruption.
Bradford
We’re investing around £365 million in Bradford, with up to 120 projects planned. Projects include improving Bradford Beck and other local watercourses, replacing clean water pipes, and building wetlands and nature-based solutions. We’re also improving the sewer network to help reduce pollution events and disruption, upgrading water and wastewater equipment, and installing sewer alarms in areas at higher risk of flooding.
Why we’re investing
We’re working to improve local water services and protect the rivers and watercourses that matter to communities.
Improving local watercourses
We’re working to improve local watercourses, including Bradford Beck, as part of our wider investment in storm overflows. We’re also building wetlands and nature-based solutions across Yorkshire to help our rivers thrive.
Making water services more reliable
We’re replacing clean water pipes and improving the sewer network. This will help reduce leaks and bursts, and lower the likelihood of flooding and disruption.
Reducing pollution
We’re improving the sewer network to help reduce pollution events. We’re also upgrading wastewater treatment equipment and installing sewer alarms in areas at higher risk of flooding.
