helping to advance the AWS industry in the UK, will manage all aspects of Yorkshire Water’s AWS requirements. This includes tankering of water supplies for both emergency incidents and planned interruptions, the provision and distribution of bottled water during incidents and responsibility for doorstep deliveries to customers on its Priority Services Register.
The contract will focus on Water Direct’s sector-leading capabilities including its recently expanded fleet of tankers equipped with specialist variable speed pumping systems for safe network injections. Yorkshire Water will also benefit from Water Direct’s industry-leading, real-time digital tanker geolocation monitoring and data audit trail capabilities.
All of this will support Yorkshire Water to meet its regulatory performance metrics; including its C-MEX rating and scale of Interruptions to Supply, which are indicators used across the water sector to measure the performance of utility companies.
Initially the contract spans five years, with an option for a three- year extension. It is central to the delivery of Yorkshire Water’s strategic AMP8 programme for 2025-2030, for which it has submitted plans to Ofwat of an £8.2bn investment – it’s biggest ever – to improve network resilience, customer experience, and its impact on the environment.
For Water Direct the new contract is a vital step in its ongoing mission to reshape the provision of alternative water supply services in the UK. Over previous decades alternative water supply has usually been considered a reactive service, responding to emergency events.
However, since entrepreneur Adam Johnson took the helm three years ago, he has shifted the company’s strategic focus to building long-term, proactive partnerships with the company’s utility and commercial customers.
He added: “Water Direct has a long and proud record in the sector. Now we are leading the way in transforming how utilities think about this issue, how they protect themselves, all while delivering better value to them.”
In the past year Water Direct has delivered more than 150.5m 50
litres of water using its fleet of 37 tankers and stores more than 4m litres of bottled water at sites across the UK.
The company continues its mission to help transform AWS through the investment and development of new services and technologies, designed to keep households and businesses connected to a clean water supply even in the most challenging circumstances.
