Wrexham Waterworks

In 1863, the Wrexham Waterworks Company was established to supply the town with clean water. By 1904 demand had increased, and the company now supplied parts of Cheshire as well as Wrexham. To meet this increased demand, a new, larger reservoir was built, named Ty Mawr (Big House), which opened in 1907. The same Act of Parliament that allowed the construction also authorised the name change of Wrexham Waterworks Company to the Wrexham and East Denbighshire Water Company. A treatment works was also constructed at Legacy, where this notice protects the filter beds to this day.
