Cambridgeshire’s water problem
Your drinking water is supplied by aquifers, the same groundwater sources that supply our chalk streams. But climate change and modern water usage are combining to make Greater Cambridge seriously water stressed*.

We’re saving
water too
Saving water isn’t just something we ask our customers to do. Cambridge Water is on track to reduce leaks by 15% by 2025, with new, even more ambitious targets to follow.
