What are our current reservoir levels like?
Our reservoir levels are currently lower than usual at this time last year. Water usage has increased due to the hot temperatures in April – around 80 million litres a day additional supply – equivalent of York and Harrogate’s daily usage – so it’s important everyone takes steps to use water wisely to protect resources later into the summer.
