WATER

Water is vital for life. Water companies source water from reservoirs, rivers and aquifers to provide our homes and businesses with the water we need.

It is important that these sources are protected from contamination and the clean water that we are lucky to have easy access to should not be wasted.


We use water for many recreational purposes, as well as for exercising and for sports including swimming, waterskiing, boating, fishing, and diving.

Lakesides and beaches are popular places for people to go to relax and enjoy recreation. Many find the sound of flowing water to be calming, too.

Rivers, streams, lakes and ponds are in abundance in the area around Castleford. These waters are a fantastic recreational benefit and are home to a varied list of plants and animals that need a clean water environment to survive.
