[ 15 ] In both 2011/12 and 2012/13, the company's leakage figure was 69 million litres per day, compared to a yearly average of 73 million litres per day between 2005 and 2010.
It is run by Wessex Water and has a capacity of 5,364,000 cubic metres (1.180 × 10 9 imp gal), [1] supplying some 200,000 homes. It impounds the head waters of the River Tone and the surrounding area is used for walking and fishing. Clatworthy Camp, an Iron Age hill fort is situated on a promontory above Clatworthy Reservoir.

About 73 percent of cities with a population of 100,000 or more apply a separate calculation method, which divides the cost of sewage into the rainwater cost. Usually, Germany calculates concrete, asphalt, and building roofs as impervious areas and charges an annual fee of $2.6 per m 2. Builders are installing rainfall storage tank and ...

Nutscale Reservoir is fed by Nutscale Water and water is piped to the Porlock Treatment Works, supplying around 3,000 cubic metres (110,000 cu ft) per day, and to six other farms and camp sites. The reservoir was built in 1942, to hold 36,000,000 imperial gallons (160,000,000 L; 43,000,000 US gal). [ 2 ]
Desalination, which produces usable water from saline water, has a higher LCW than processing groundwater or surface water. A 2020 study found that advances in decarbonization would reduce the levelized cost of water produced via desalination from €2.4 per cubic meter in 2015 (US$2.84) to €1.05 per cubic meter in 2050 (US$1.24).

At the beginning of the 19th century, most water works in the UK were built, owned, and operated by private companies. The introduction of various parliamentary regulations led to the government assuming control of the industry, with the responsibility for most (but not all) water works and sewerage systems being passed to local government by the beginning of the 20th century.
