Did Yorkshire Water Ignore Your Complaint? Here's What to Do

Most of the time, you simply turn on a tap to get clean, potable water that's just right for drinking, cleaning, doing laundry, and caring for your houseplants. That doesn't mean that Yorkshire Water is without its faults, however. That's why DoNotPay makes it super simple to file that are to the point and effective.

What Is Yorkshire Water?

Yorkshire Water is a privately-owned company that provides generally reliable water and wastewater services to more than two million UK households and businesses.

In addition to being the primary water supplier throughout most of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire, and portions of Derbyshire, Yorkshire Water is also a wastewater treatment utility company.

Originally known as the Yorkshire Water Authority, the current company was established along with nine other regional water authorities as part of the UK Water Act of 1973.

Yorkshire Water publishes yearly performance reports that are publicly accessible on the company website.

The Yorkshire Water Cycle Explained

To better serve and educate the utility company's more than two million home and business customers, Yorkshire Water offers a web page that explains the water cycle that occurs before Yorkshire Water extracts water from boreholes, rivers, and reservoirs.

Evaporation

When the sun shines on bodies of water, some of the water rises into the air as vapour. Water vapour is also produced by plants and, to a lesser extent, soil. As they evaporate, these vapours make their way into the atmosphere where they gather and condense to form clouds.

Condensation

As water vapour rises, it becomes colder. When cool vapours join with airborne dust particles, they become clouds. Once the vapour-dust droplets are heavy enough, the next step of the water cycle occurs.

Precipitation

When clouds are saturated to the point where they can't hold any more, droplets of rainfall on the earth in a process called precipitation. This term encompasses all sorts of stuff that falls from clouds, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
