The most up to date data can be found at the url below. This data is frequently updated when new sources are created or existing ones are updated. A shapefile of the latest data can be obtained from the same link. If downloading a shapefile we would advise generating a new file so it includes all the latest data.

We would also insist you read the information regarding the dataset and its licencing restrictions. For ease see below:-

Reg 2 (previously Cat A) are supplies which are commercial (including private lets) or more than 50 persons Category B are non-commercial with less than 50 persons.

NOTE:- The location data we hold for the private water supplies is not 100% accurate (easting's and northing's can be out but we are currently working on improving these through GPS, unfortunately I cannot provide a figure on the accuracy, some maybe just in a general area of the property it serves).

The spreadsheet may contain multiple records for the same source reference, this may be where either multiple source abstractions points are located or there are other private water supply infrastructure located eg storage tanks. The location Type indicates the type:- A or A1 etc = Source, B or B1 etc = supply infrastructure, U or U1 etc = unused supply infrastructure. Sites marked with "Y" confirmed are for sites where we have visited site and obtained more accurate locations. The list does not include historic private water supplies. The data is provided based on the best information available to the council at the time of writing.
