Hartlepool Water is a water company that covers the town of Hartlepool in County Durham and surrounding area in the North East of England. Since 1997 it has been owned by Anglian Water.[1]

Hartlepool Water does not provide sewerage services. These are provided by Northumbrian Water.[2]

The company was originally formed as the Hartlepool Gas and Water Company by the Hartlepool Gas and Waterworks Act 1846 (9 & 10 Vict. c. cxv).[1] It became Hartlepools Water Company after the gas business was nationalised. It was re-incorporated into Hartlepool Water plc by the Hartlepools Water Company (Constitution and Regulation) Order 1995 (SI 1995/79).

In 2000, the statutory water supply powers in the Hartlepool area were transferred to Anglian Water Services Limited by the Hartlepool Water (Amendment of Local Enactments) Order 2000 (SI 2000/2630), alongside the transfer in April 2000 of all assets and liabilities, with the now non-trading company becoming Hartlepool Water Ltd. one year later in April 2001. The Hartlepool Water was retained as a trading name of Anglia Water in the Hartlepool area.
