Richard Stuart, director of asset delivery at Yorkshire Water, said: “2025 has been a really important year for us – working hard in the first three months to close out the previous five-year delivery period, and then navigating planning and beginning to deliver our largest ever five-year investment programme of £8.3bn.

“We are going through a step-change in the volume of infrastructure improvements we are making, and we’re hopeful that customers across the region are starting to feel the benefits of the work we have been doing.”

In the past six months, the company has replaced 120km of mains, saving an estimated 1.24 million litres of water per day through reduced leakage.
