Greater Manchester

Greater Manchester is one of the fastest growing regions in the UK, as an increasing number of people across the country make it their home. While the population grows, and more businesses relocate, it’s increasingly important that we provide essential services for now and for the future.

So at United Utilities, we’ve been investing in a stronger, more resilient Greater Manchester - working to improve 82km of rivers, capturing rainwater, building vital infrastructure and supporting local community projects. 

Our teams are out day and night, seven days a week, 365 days a year, getting stuck in to deliver our Action Plan for Greater Manchester.
