Today we held our latest WaterShare+ meeting in Plymouth at our Mayflower water treatment works. It was a positive meeting which gave us the chance to update our customers on our investment plans for Plymouth. Customers were also able to take a tour around the first of its kind in the world treatment works which serves the population of Plymouth and surrounding areas. You can find out more about our WaterShare+ events here: https://lnkd.in/dJafx6c #WaterSharePlus #WaterIndustry #Plymouth
About us
South West Water is part of Pennon Group plc. We provide reliable, efficient and high quality drinking water and waste water services throughout Cornwall and Devon and in small areas of Dorset and Somerset. We also look after the region's bathing waters and coastline. South West Water came into being in 1989 with the privatisation of the water industry. We inherited a water system suffering from a century of neglect but, thanks to the tireless work of our 1,300 employees, have brought the region's drinking water, sewerage systems and bathing waters into line with the stringent UK and European Union standards. This extensive programme of environmental improvement has resulted in some of the finest bathing waters in Europe, picturesque scenery and clean rivers with stunning wildlife. We believe that by investing in the future of our region, we are not only improving the quality of life for today's residents and visitors but are also taking responsibility for future generations.

Nature is thriving at former clay pit on Bodmin Moor 🌱 Through the planting of native trees, removal of non-native trees and creation of new habitats we've transformed the area into a haven for wildlife. This has led to the return of rare and threatened species, including the Marsh Fritillary butterfly and the Tormentil Mining Bee. Biodiversity Action Officer, Hannah Bailey explains more in the video below.

#AsianHornetWeek 🐝 Asian hornets are an invasive non-native species that pose a threat to our bees and other insects. This predator hawks out the entrance of a bee hive and can kill up to 300 bees a day. Can you tell which one is the Asian hornet in the picture? How to spot an Asian Hornet: 🐝 Does it have a dark body? 🐝 Has it got a wide orange stripe on 4th segment of abdomen? 🐝 Do its legs look as if they have been dipped in yellow paint? If you spot one, please report it to @britishbeekeepers through the Asian Hornet Watch App which you can download here: https://bit.ly/4dM4Zy3 Together, we can help prevent the spread of this invasive species and protect our environment. #ProtectOurPollinators #Bees

It's #WorldWaterWeek 💧 Did you know that planting tress among tussock grasses can help to naturally capture multiple nutrients and sediments in the ground which run-off from farmed fields? 🌿 This then helps to prevent the further spread of these into nearby water courses and harming wildflife 🐟 #WaterQuality #FarmLife #WaterWeek
