Yorkshire Water hires Lanes Group for wastewater contract

Yorkshire Water has appointed Lanes Group to provide its wastewater services throughout its 2025–2030 delivery period (AMP8).

Lanes Group will support the utility in responding to repair and maintenance issues on its wastewater network across the entire region, in addition to providing specialist lining services and customer service.

The five year contract begins in April 2025, with an option to extend it for three years. The contract is valued at about £500m across eight years. 

James Harrison, head of customer field services at Yorkshire Water, said: “The region’s wastewater system is vast and complex, stretching to 52,000 KM. Through an enhanced approach to maintenance across the entire network, this partnership aims to improve our services to both customers and the environment. Delivering an excellent service to our local communities is hugely important to us, and we’re excited to work with Lanes Group to continue making that happen.”

Chief executive of Lanes Group, Wayne Earnshaw, said: "Partnering with Yorkshire Water is an important milestone for Lanes Group.”
