SES Water

Hey Jon... What's the most unique species we have at our Elmer treatment works? #RareSpecies #Environment #SESWater #ElmerTreatmentWorks #Water #DrinkingWater #HazelDormouse

Come talk to us about water saving at the Edenbridge and Oxted Agricultural show 25-26 August. We're looking forward to seeing you on our first visit to the show. We will also be talking to local farmers about pesticides and the impact on the environment. #Water #edenbridgeshow

Get Water Fit with our helpful tool that one of our customers told us: “I’d really recommend using GetWaterFit. It helps you think about how much water you use and which areas you could be saving on.” #GetWaterFit #SaveWater https://lnkd.in/e7qKGtFP

New initiative at Elmer Treatment Works: The Bee Bank 🐝 We’re excited to share the news about our latest sustainability project – a Bee Bank specifically designed for native mining bees. Unlike honeybees, these solitary bees burrow into bare ground to create their homes. Our Bee bank provides a vital habitat for these important pollinators, helping to sustain biodiversity and promote a healthier ecosystem. This project is part of our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. If you have a garden or outdoor space, you can create your own Bee Bank to support local pollinators. Together, we can make a difference – one bee at a time! 🌸 #Sustainability #Biodiversity #BeeBank #EnvironmentalStewardship #Pollinators

At a time when the industry is under so much scrutiny 💩- clean water only companies can easily be over looked. SES Water is the only water company in the UK to have customers connected to two treatments works ✅ the only water company to have a fully operational smart network ✅ the only water company to achieve biodiversity awards for our sites ✅ and to top it off, our amazing education centre Flow Zone is teaching future generations why we have one of the highest water quality scores in the UK 💦 Getting these positive areas in the spotlight is no easy task - but has been a real driving force behind our communications strategy. It’s brilliant to open up the doors for our colleagues to share their passions in these areas.

This week, we were featured on ITV Meridian’s three-part series about the water industry. Our Wholesale Director Tom Kelly was interviewed, and spoke about the resilience of our network, our investment in our infrastructure and our approach to innovation. In addition, our Education Centre Flow Zone was also featured, showcasing the great work that our team does every day to host school visits and educate future generations about the importance of water and how it is made safe to drink. We enjoyed the opportunity to share our education programme more widely, and hearing directly from the pupils themselves!

Our Kenley treatment works team had a surplus of large static water tanks that they no longer required, and would need to be disposed of or scrapped. Instead throwing them away, we reached out to our community to see if these repurposed tanks could be of use to local farms, stables and clubs, for activities like harvesting and storing rainwater for their fields. It was a great initiative to build relationships with our community and see how the tanks were repurposed. Thanks to our teams at Kenley, in Operations and Catchment Management for organising!

Last week we hosted 12 students, aged 15-18, from seven schools and colleges for our annual Work Experience Week. The week featured activities providing an overview of SES Water and the industry as a whole. Students also visited our Bough Beech Reservoir and attended sessions with various teams across our business to learn more about a career in the water industry. The week culminated in a project, with the students presenting their work to senior members of our team. Many thanks to all of our colleagues who organised and participated in providing this experience, and to the students for their great work, input and engagement!
