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 Yeadon

Water rates come in two forms - metered, or unmetered. If you aren't certain which you have, the best way to find out is to check your water bill. Homes that have metered water rates will have a meter number listed on the bill. The account number may also start with MC for Metered Customer and UC for Unmetered Customers.

If you can't check a bill, you could also take a look around your home for a water meter. These would usually be in the garden (look for a small box in the ground), or near the water stop tap in the kitchen or garage.

If your home has a water meter, you must give water meter readings to your supplier, as this is how they calculate your bill.

Homes that don't have a water meter will have the rateable value (unmetered rates) of the home instead. The rateable value uses factors such as your property size and the availability of services to create an estimated consumption for your home, which is then used to create your bill.

Selectra's essential guide to water meters will give you further information on everything you need to know about water meters, and if they are the right choice for you.

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

Yeadon Water Hardness

Yeadon water hardness is rated as medium. Waters hardness rating is based on the value of dissolved minerals such as magnesium or calcium that it contains. The higher that the value of these minerals is, the harder and less effective your water rating will be in general.

Yeadon water's medium rating means that your home should not see significant scaling in appliances. It may still be beneficial to take moderate counter-measures to minimise this further, such as using products focused on water-softening properties, and using acidic sanitisers to clean limescale-prone areas.

Can you drink the water in Yeadon?

Absolutely! Yeadon water was given a mean zonal compliance score of 99.96% by The UK Drinking Water Inspectorate. Meaning that all recommended safety guidelines are met, and it is not necessary to boil or filter Yeadon water to make it potable.

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

1. Chlorination ensures the health of the water pipe network while being safe to consume.
2. Seasonal changes in water characteristics and mineral values can infuse Yeadon Water with an earthy smell or taste.
3. Plumbing such as the repair of tap or pipes can change the taste of your household water, giving it metallic, salty or rubbery hints.

If would like to find out more about the quality of your water or have concerns about its safety, you should contact Yorkshire Water, who will provide further assistance.

Yeadon Water Problems

Yeadon water problems can come in various forms, including anything from burst water mains, flooding or even having no water supply in your home. This is why you should make sure you know how to troubleshoot your problems, and what your next steps are.

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

1. If you aren't at home, you can reach out to Yorkshire Water easily by sending them a message on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), or by phoning their customer service line.
2. 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.

Yeadon 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 a Yorkshire Water outage impacting Yeadon.

1. Check that your stop tap is open. If it is in the closed position, this would prevent water flow.
2. Ask your neighbours whether they have the same issue as you. If they are having the same problem, this indicates that there is a Yorkshire Water outage.
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.

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.
