Keep It Clear
The Anglian Water "Keep It Clear" campaign aimed to reduce sewer blockages in the region caused by fats, oils, grease and unflushable items like baby wipes. The campaign also worked with community leaders to spread the word, and free sink strainers to stop food waste going the drain were also handed out. Following a seven-week trial in Peterborough blockages fell by more than 80%. The model is now being rolled out to other "hotspot" towns and cities in the region.
History
The Anglian Water Authority was formed by the Water Act 1973 as one of ten regional water authorities which took over statutory and local authority owned water supply and waste water (sewage) undertakings. Anglian Water was privatised as Anglian Water Services Limited in 1989. It is now a subsidiary of AWG plc.
Utilities acquired
The Anglian authority combined five river authorities with water utilities in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Humberside, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire and Suffolk:

Apart from providing water supplies, a separate leisure division has been formed to promote the use of these facilities for recreational use.
