Anglian Water

Anglian Water is a water utility that supplies clean water and recycles wastewater across the East of England. Founded in 1989, it serves nearly 7 million customers over the largest geographic area covered by any water company in England and Wales. The region it operates in is the driest in England, which shapes much of its work: managing both flood and drought risk is a core part of its remit.

The company's technical work spans water supply, wastewater treatment and recycling, climate resilience and environmental stewardship. Its stated purpose is to bring environmental and social prosperity to its region, expressed in the motto "Love Every Drop." Operations include providing drinking water to customers across the East of England and recycling wastewater as part of a wider environmental approach.

Anglian Water describes itself as purpose-driven and, in 2019, became the first water company to enshrine public interest in its company constitution, through enhanced Articles of Association. Its decision-making is balanced across six capitals: natural, social, financial, manufactured, people and intellectual, with an emphasis on long-term outcomes for shareholders, customers, communities and the environment.
