Water and Drainage

Private water supplies in Ribble Valley are those that are not provided by United Utilities.

Private supplies tend to serve isolated, remote properties or small communities.  There are approximately 292 private water supplies in Ribble Valley.

All private supplies must be sampled on a regular basis for a range of bacteriological and chemical contaminants.  The frequency of these tests is laid down in the Private Water Supplies Regulations 2009 and varies according to the usage and volume of water.  Please click here for further information.

The costs of sampling and analysis are passed on to the person responsible for the supply.
