Where does Yorkshire Water come from?

No matter which source your water has come from, Yorkshire Water carries out extensive testing to ensure its safety before reaching your home.
Water Rates Elland
The type of water rates that apply to your Elland home will vary depending on you have a water meter or not. The simplest way to find out which applies to you is by taking a look at a water bill. Homes that have metered water rates will display a meter number, or the account number will start with UC for unmetered customers or MC for metered customers.
Alternately if you don't have a bill available, you can check around your home to see if you can find a water meter. These would be located either in a small box in the ground in your garden or in the vicinity of the water stop tap. If you find a water meter in either of these locations, then your home will have metered rates.
If you have a water meter, it is very important that you give your water provider regular water meter readings. Your provider will bill you according to your exact usage, and so failing to provide this data could mean that they will give you higher estimated bills. Submitting a meter reading is very simple, and can be done either via their website, your account, by giving them a call, or via their app.
Homes that are not metered won't have metered rates, but they will have a rateable value of the home instead. The rateable value takes into account factors such as property size, location, and the availability of local services to create a usage value that is then applied to your bill.
The average water rates Elland water residents are being charged result in an average water bill of around £491 a year. This amount combines both water supply and sewerage costs.

Elland Water Hardness
Elland water hardness is rated as soft. While rainwater is soft, water hardness changes as it progresses through the water cycle and picks up minerals. The more minerals such as calcium or magnesium your water has, the harder it will be rates, and the less effective it will be for household usage. Having water of soft rating means that you should not see significant limescale accumulation or the deterioration of appliances, and it is unnecessary to take additional action to improve your water's quality.
Can you drink the water in Elland?
Yes! Elland's' water meets high standards making it safe to drink. The UK Drinking Water Inspectorate has scored Elland water quality at 99.96% in overall mean zonal compliance, meaning that your water meets all legal requirements, and it is not necessary to boil or filter Elland water to improve its safety rating or make it potable.
If you notice a change in taste or smell of Elland water this may be due to one of the following reasons:
- Seasonal changes in water characteristics can infuse Elland water with an earthy smell or taste.
- Chlorination is a safe way to ensure hygiene throughout the pipe network.
- Plumbing can contribute to the taste of your household water, adding metallic, salty or rubbery hints.
If you are worried about your water's taste, smell or appearance, you should contact Yorkshire Water, who will assist you further.
Elland Water Problems
Elland water problems can include anything from burst water pipes or flooding to having no water supply in your home. If you notice a water leak or flooding outside your Elland property, you need to do one of the following:
- If you can access a computer, head over to the Yorkshire Water website. On the "Contact Us" page you will find various options about how to report a problem, get in contact, or check what is happening in your area.
- If you aren't at home, send Yorkshire Water a message on social media on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, or give them a ring.
Elland No Water
Having no water in your home could relate to either an internal plumbing issue within your home, or it could be a Yorkshire Water outage. Here is what you can do to determine which it may be, and what your next steps are.
- Ask your neighbours whether they have the same issue as you. If they don't, then the problem may be caused by your homes plumbing, and you should contact a plumber.
- Is your stop tap is open? If it is in the closed position, turning it to the open position will allow water to flow.
- Check the "Get in Touch" sections of the Yorkshire Water website for any information explaining why you have no water, and when you can expect your water supply to return.
If you have no water, is it only no cold water or no hot water? If you have cold water but no hot water, the issue will be with your home plumbing and not the water company.
If there is no cold water, not even a trickle, contact Yorkshire Water for assistance.
