WCI offer a wide range of services associated with drinking water, storm water and sewage allowing us to serve you in the way that best suits your requirements.  For example, this holistic approach to water and wastewater treatment means that WCI can design a compliant solution, apply for the relevant Environment Agency Permit, install the designed system under Building Notice using our installation teams and then carry out the commissioning and ongoing servicing requirements through our Service Team of British Water Accredited Service Engineers. It’s wrap around care!
