Line 43:
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 Reservoir|Ty Mawr]], which opened in 1907. The same [[Act of Parliament]] that allowed the construction also authorised the name change of Wrexham Waterworks Company to the '''Wrexham and East Denbighshire Water Company'''. The construction of these works also enabled the construction and expansion of the treatment works at Legacy in 1921, as well as the construction of Legacy water tower by 1934. Pumps had also been installed at disused mines, notably at [[Minera Lead Mines]], to extract water in times of drought.
[[File:Legacy Tower.jpg|right|thumb|Legacy Water Tower]] During the 1950s, there was a period of consolidation. 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>{{Cite web|url=http://www.deevalleywater.co.uk/article.php?id=42|title=Dee Valley Water History|website=deevalleywater.co.uk|access-date=11 June 2011|archive-date=20 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140220154142/http://www.deevalleywater.co.uk/article.php?id=42|url-status=dead}}</ref>
