A house-to-house collections licence is required when there is a collection for charitable purposes.

An application for a licence must be made not later than a month before the collection is due to take place.

If you get your water supply privately from a well, borehole or spring on your property, we must test it to make sure it is safe to drink.

Most people in Copeland get their water through the mains. United Utilities treat and test our mains water to make sure it is safe for people to drink. They look out for signs of bacteria and viruses that can make people ill.

United Utilities also make sure that any chemicals in the mains water are at a safe level.
