Cumbria

Cumbria

Cumbria plays a special role in helping ensure its communities and those across the North West receive a reliable supply of high quality drinking water and is home to some of the most beautiful parts of the country with its breath-taking fells and lakes, not least the iconic Windermere.

Water makes the North West stronger, greener and healthier. Read more about what United Utilities has done and is committed to continue to do to keep billions of litres of great water reaching the taps of homes and businesses every day and to protect and enhance the wider environment and the health of our rivers and waterways.
