Glasgow Business . 61 www.glasgowchamberofcommerce.com 2012


Scotland’s most valued and trusted business, one that we can all be proud of. We are always striving to deliver a positive


experience, increasing service levels and value for money for our customers, and we believe this is even more important in the current economic conditions. We are continuing to invest across Scotland and


at the same time have kept customer charges low. In 2012/13, the average household charge in Scotland is the lowest in Great Britain – £52 less than England and Wales.


The quality of our drinking water is at an all-time high and our investment is continuing to deliver the benefits Scotland needs as well as supporting thousands of construction jobs. We provide clean, safe and high-quality drinking


water across Scotland, via a network of more than 29,000 miles of pipes that stretch across an area one third the size of the UK. Every day, we provide 1.3 billion litres of clear,


fresh drinking water to our customers’ taps and treat their waste water, before returning it to Scotland’s natural environment. Our responsible approach to managing our


assets and resources provides secure, sustainable services to our customers. We will drive innovation and look to maximise all opportunities to deliver what is right for our customers and for Scotland. We remain fully committed to delivering a service


that is resilient to climate change while achieving a low carbon water industry in Scotland. We believe that this is the right thing for our customers, the economy and the environment.
