About Thames Water

At Thames Water, our purpose is crystal clear - to deliver life's essential service so our customers, communities, and planet can thrive.

Water is life's great leveller. Every living thing needs it, every single day. From people to plants, birds to bees, farms to factories, we all need it to thrive, and we're committed to taking care of it for us all.

But keeping water flowing is becoming harder. From scorching summers to wetter winters, extreme weather affects everything from our pipes to our local rivers. We must keep millions more kettles boiling, public services operating, washing machines spinning, showers running, and more, so every drop is more precious than ever. Are you ready to play your part?
