Yorkshire Water has awarded a three-year extension to its contract with Morrison Utility Services (MUS).

Valued at £250 million, the extended Water Services Agreement (WSA) contract will see MUS carry out all water networks repair and maintenance (R&M) activities, as well as developer and metering services.

The extension has been awarded two years early, bringing the total remaining duration to five years.


David Stevenson, Head of Water Distribution at Yorkshire Water said: "We are very pleased to award a three year extension of our WSA contract to Morrison Utility Services. This is testament to the strength of our relationship with MUS and our trust in their ability to deliver the best possible service for our customers at the best price with the highest levels of safety."

Charles Morrison, Chief Executive of MUS, added: "We look forward to building upon the collaborative working relationship that we share with our client and our aim now is to continue to develop safe, cost-efficient and innovative ways of working that will deliver a positive customer experience across Yorkshire Water's operational territory."
