In what is being billed as the worst episode of flooding in modern British history, water companies are joining forces to provide relief to those affected.
Pallets of bottled water, tankers, lorries and bowsers are being shared between water companies to help alleviate the problem in the Midlands.
Ultimately maintaining a supply of clean water to people in the areas affected by the floods is the most important consideration. In these situations the ethos of the water industry is always to pull together to minimise the risk and inconvenience to the public.
Water companies are also working with the Environment Agency, local authorities and emergency services to ensure this natural disaster is handled in the best way possible.
