Description Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) is the largest water and sewerage company in Wales and the sixth largest operating in England and Wales. Responsible for providing high-quality drinking water for over three million customers and for taking away, treating and properly disposing of the wastewater that is produced. DCWW is committed to securing water supplies for future generations while protecting the environment.
