Where does Yorkshire Water come from?

Most of the water that Yorkshire Water supplies to the domestic market come from surface-water sources such as reservoirs, rivers and streams, as well as from boreholes. 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 Hoyland

Your home will have either metered or unmetered rates. If you have metered rates, your water bill should display a meter number. If you can't see this, the account number may start with MC for Metered Customer or UC for Unmetered Customer.

Don't have a water bill? You may be able to find a water meter by searching around your property. These would be located either near the stop tap in the kitchen or garage or in the garden within a small box set into the ground.

If your property has a water meter, you must provide regular meter readings so that your water supplier can accurately bill you. Without these, your bill may be inaccurate.

Homes that are not metered will have a rateable value instead. This is based on several factors, such as property size and the availability of local services. This data is then used to create an estimated consumption value of your home, which is then used to generate your bill.

The average water rates Hoyland residents are being charged result in an average water bill of around £491 per year. This amount combines both water supply and sewerage costs.

Our guide to water rates will give you some great tips on how to get started saving on your water bill.

Selectra's guide to water meters will help you learn more about how water meters work, and if they are the right choice for your home.

Hoyland Water Hardness

Hoyland water hardness is rated as medium. While rainwater itself is relatively soft, water hardness can change through the water cycle. Due to the way water filters through rocks in Yorkshire Water's supply area, Hoyland picks up minerals, such as magnesium or calcium, on the way to your tap. Having water of medium rating means that though you should not see strong limescale accumulation or the deterioration of appliances, it would still be beneficial to use products that focus on water softening properties, and to use an acidic sanitiser where possible to clear away limescale build-ups.

Can you drink the water in Hoyland?

Yes! You can drink the water in Hoyland. The UK Drinking Water Inspectorate has scored Hoyland's water quality a 99.96% in overall mean zonal compliance, meaning that your water is safe to drink. It is not necessary to boil or filter Hoyland's water to make it potable.

If you notice a change in taste or smell of Hoyland's water this may be due to one of the following reasons:

  1. Chlorination helps to keep the pipe network clean, but can subtly influence your waters taste occasionally.
  2. Plumbing can contribute to the taste of your household water, adding metallic, salty or rubbery hints. Repairs on water pipes or taps for example can contribute to changes in your waters attributes.
  3. Seasonal changes in water characteristics can infuse Hoyland's water with an earthy smell or taste.

If you have concerns about your water's taste, smell or appearance, you should contact Yorkshire Water, who will assist you further.

Hoyland Water Problems

Hoyland water issues can include anything from burst water mains, flooding or having no water in your home. You should make sure you know what to do and who to contact regarding water emergencies.

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

  1. 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.
  2. If you aren't at home, send Yorkshire Water a message on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), or give them a ring.

Hoyland No Water

If you have no water in your home, you need to find out if the issue is caused by your home plumbing or a Yorkshire Water outage impacting Hoyland.

  1. Check that your stop tap is open. If it is in the closed position, turning it to the open position should allow water to flow.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
