Water Networks

Leep Utilities (Leep) own and operate the water, wastewater and drainage networks throughout MediaCityUK and beyond. Regulated by Ofwat, The Water Service Regulatory Authority, we provide safe and reliable water to 24,000 Properties across the UK.

Ensuring only the very best supply and service, Leep bring additional benefits to users. We fit Automatic Remote Reading Devices (AMR) to all new meters and have a program to retrofit older meters to ensure the accuracy of bills. All customer calls are handled by our experienced and dedicated Customer Service team. Based at Head Office with the rest of our senior team, they’re well placed to help with any query and on hand 8am-8pm Monday-Friday with our emergency teams available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  

The water industry is highly regulated and Ofwat will grant a license, known as a New Appointment and Variation (NAV) on a site-by-site basis. Subject to the same regulations and obligations as the bigger incumbents, NAVs provide greater flexibility as they are not limited by geography and can work with developers to ensure the best commercial value is realised.

Our team of experts have the knowledge and skill to operate regulated water and wastewater networks, and are interested in opportunities to expand our portfolio through the adoption of new assets on new developments.

Working with a variety of Water Industry Registration Schemes (WIRS) accredited providers, Leep can work with any developer to install a network - finding innovative solutions allowing the developer and its contractors to identify efficiencies in the installation. We will then offer an Asset Payment, calculated based upon the revenues we will generate, in return for adopting the installed network.

Each new scheme requires a variation to our license from Ofwat, making it imperative that Leep are engaged early in the projects development. For further information or to bring us on board, please contact us at: info@leeputilities.co.uk or call us on 0345 122 6780.

Every Drop Counts

Water is a precious resource and as summer heats up, we are reminded of just how important it is.  We’d like our customers to think about the water they use and, where possible, make a few small changes.  Using less will not only help the environment and ensure there is enough to go around, but it will also help you keep your water bills down.  Please take a moment to visit our water saving tips https://www.leeputilities.co.uk/domestic
