Wrexham - Wrexham Water Established 1863.

Industrial growth and shameful sanitary conditions compelled townsmen to establish Wrexham Water Company.

For 50 or more years, prior to the formation of the Company during a period of rapid growth of industrial towns, public attention had been focused on sanitation in general and on water supply in particular.

This resulted in the passing of the Water Works Clauses Act 1847.

Although in the 17th Century, the town was described as "Trim Wricksam Town - the pearl of Denbighshire", by the early part of the 19th Century the sanitary conditions prevailing were deplorable. The inhabitants had to depend entirely on shallow wells and pumps for their supply of drinking water.
