Xylem and Manchester City Team Up


The partnership between Manchester City Football Club and Xylem – the Club’s official water technology partner – aims to improve water usage and efficiency by saving up to 1,000 cubic meters of drinking water every day.

When the City Football Academy (CFA) in Manchester, UK, was under construction a 12-million-liter attenuation tank, which collects rain and irrigation water for use on its 16 CFA pitches, was installed, along with is a similar system under the main pitch at the Club’s Etihad Stadium. This reduces the Club’s water footprint and prevents the unnecessary use of potable water (water treated to drinking standards) for irrigation purposes.

When the main attenuation tank at the City Football Academy experienced water quality issues, it was put out of use, which impacted the Club’s water footprint and increased their reliance on water from the local utility to maintain the pitches. An audit of the problem enabled Xylem to find a viable solution: Xylem’s Wedeco LBX90e UV disinfection system in combination with a pre-filtration unit. This enabled Manchester City to resume using the attenuation tank, which reduces their use of potable water by up to 1,000 cubic meters a day.

“City Football Group, which includes Manchester City, brings the same level of commitment and passion to their sustainability game plan as they do to their on-pitch performance,” said Fiona Cole, Head of Brand and Partnerships at Xylem.
