Where does Anglian Water's water come from?

Half of the water that Anglian Water provides to your home comes from groundwater sources such as rivers or reservoirs. The remaining water comes from underground sources such as boreholes or aquifers. The water from all sources goes through a thorough filtering and cleansing process to ensure its safety before reaching your home.

Water Rates Huntingdon

Water rates in Huntingdon are split into two forms: metered and unmetered. Homes that have metered Huntingdon water rates will have a meter number listed on their water bills. If you cannot see the meter number, the account number will often contain MC for metered customers, and UC for unmetered customers.

Alternately if you do not have a bill available, you can look around your property for a water meter. These would usually be located either next to the water stop tap in the garage or kitchen, or outside in the garden.

Having a water meter means that your provider will bill you according to your exact household usage. In order for them to know how to calculate your usage, you should provide regular meter readings. Failing to do this could result in inaccurate bills.

Homes that are not metered will have the rateable value of the home instead of this. The rateable value part of your Huntingdon water rates will have been determined by the local council in the 90s and most likely will not have changed since. This rate is subject to review every five years and takes into account factors such as property size, location, and the availability of local services to create a value that is then applied to your bill.

The average water rates Huntingdon water residents are being charged result in an average water bill of around £341 a year. This amount combines both water supply and sewerage costs.

Huntingdon Water Hardness

Huntingdon water hardness is rated as very hard. While rainwater itself is relatively soft, water hardness can change through the water cycle. Due to the way water filters through rocks in Anglian Water's supply area, Huntingdon picks up minerals, such as magnesium or calcium, on the way to your tap.

Huntingdon's hard water rating means that the water in your home will lead to scaling in kettles, sinks, dishwashers and loos. There are ways to mitigate hard water furring or scaling in Huntingdon.

  1. Baths, sinks and toilets - Use an acidic sanitiser regularly (available in local shops) to clean susceptible surfaces in order to clear limescale deposits.
  2. Kettles - Do not overfill your kettle with water, using only as much water as you need. Make sure that you clean your kettle by half-filling and adding two tablespoons of white vinegar, leaving it for four hours in order to loosen scale build-up. Rinse and repeat to remove scale.
  3. Dishwashers - Take advantage of the built-in water softener. Make sure you regularly top off it off with dishwasher salt in the appropriate compartment.

Can you drink the water in Huntingdon?

Yes! You can drink the water in Huntingdon. You can rest assured that Huntingdon water meets high standards making it safe to drink, and it is not necessary to boil or filter Huntingdon water to make it potable. The UK Drinking Water Inspectorate has scored Huntingdon water quality a 99.96% in overall mean zonal compliance, meaning that your water is perfectly safe to drink without having to amend it in any way.

If you notice a change in taste or smell of Huntingdon Water this may be due to one of the following reasons:

  1. Chlorination is a safe way to ensure hygiene throughout the pipe network.
  2. Seasonal changes in water characteristics can infuse Huntingdon Water with an earthy smell or taste.
  3. Plumbing can contribute to the taste of your household water, adding metallic, salty or rubbery hints.

If you have questions about your water's taste, smell or appearance, you should not hesitate to contact Anglian Water, who will provide further assistance.

Huntingdon Water Problems

Huntingdon water problems can include anything from flooding, burst water mains or even to having no water in your home. This is why you should make sure you know what to do and who to contact regarding water emergencies.

If you notice flooding or a water leak outside your Huntingdon property, you need to do one of the following:

  1. If you are out and about, call or tweet at Anglian Water depending on whether the issue relates to drinking water or wastewater.
  2. If you are near a computer, go to the "Water and sewerage queries" section of the Anglian Water website. From there, you can request a callback, find the most appropriate contact number or use their chatbot feature to troubleshoot.

Huntingdon No Water

If you have no water in your home, you need to find out if the issue is to do with your home plumbing or an Anglian Water outage impacting Huntingdon.

  1. Check the "Contact Us" or "Report an issue" section of the Anglian Waters website. From here you can find useful advice on how to proceed, report an issue via their online form, or find the most appropriate contact number.
  2. Ask your neighbours whether they have the same issue as you.
  3. Check that your stop tap is open.
  4. If you have no water, is it only no cold water or no hot water? If you have no hot water but have cold water still, the issue will be with your home plumbing and not the water company.

    If there is no cold water, not even a trickle, contact Anglian Water for assistance.
