The Water Conservators
A modern Livery Company committed to water and the environment
Clean water and a sustainable environment are essentials of life.
We are committed to safeguarding water supplies and to the wise stewardship of the wider environment.
We promote good practice in water treatment, the prevention of pollution, the improvement of water courses, and high standards in waste management and reuse.
Through our charity, we work with young minds in schools and universities to enhance environmental science and to promote innovative approaches to management of the natural worold.
We question opinion through debates, webinars and influential policy briefings. Today we are a recognised information resource for government bodies, the City of London and the general public.
Our members come together not only to share knowledge and experience, but also to enjoy good fellowship and to meet like-minded professionals at convivial events in historic settings, including some of the City’s grandest livery halls.
