==History==
===Wrexham Waterworks Company===
After [[Wrexham]] achieved its [[Charter of Incorporation]] in 1857, attentions turned to a proper water supply for the then town, as residents relied on wells and the [[River Gwenfro]] for their water supply, which contained trade effluence from the many breweries, leatherworks and brickworks present. In 1863, the '''Wrexham Waterworks Company''' was first established with the aim of pumping water from nearby Pentrebychan, West enough of the town to not be influenced by pollution. The first works, opened in the same year, were primitive, with only a reservoir and slow sand filter for water treatment, these were made obsolete by the construction of an impounding reservoir further upstream in 1878, this reservoir, named [[Cae Llwyd Reservoir|Cae Llwyd]], has a capacity of {{convert|
In 1904, demand had again increased, and the company now supplied parts of Cheshire as well as Wrexham. To meet this increased demand, a new, larger reservoir was built, named [[Ty Mawr

The company acquired several other local water supply companies, including those at nearby Ruabon and Brymbo, as well as undertakings previously run by district councils. The company also took possession of the large water extraction works at Sesswick built by the [[Ministry of Works (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Works]] to supply [[ROF Wrexham]] during World War II. In 1983, the expansion of the company dictated that larger offices were required. The headquarters at Egerton Street were sold and the company moved to new, purpose built offices at Packsaddle, [[Rhostyllen]].<ref>
===Chester Waterworks Company===

=== Montgomeryshire area ===
In 1974 the functions of Montgomeryshire Water Board and local authority wastewater functions in [[Montgomeryshire]] became part of Severn Trent Water Authority. Upon privatisation in 1989 these were transferred to the licensed water and sewerage company Severn Trent Water. This area is now part of Powys.
