Worshipful Company of Water Conservators

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Worshipful Company of Water Conservators is one of the

Livery Companies of the City of London
.

In 1988, some members of the Select Society of Sanitary Sludge Shovelers (5S), who were also members of the Institution of Water and Environmental Management (IWEM; chartered in 1995, now CIWEM), founded the Guild of Water Conservators. It was recognised as a company in 1994. Its petition for livery was granted by the Court of Aldermen with effect from 2000. It received a Royal Charter in 2005.

The Water Conservators' Company ranks 102nd in the order of precedence of the City Livery Companies.

The supporters of the Company's coat of arms consist of a beaver and an otter. Each of them is holding a golden shovel to recognise the part played by the British chapter of the 5S (whose badge is a golden shovel) in the formation of the guild.

The Company's church is St Mary-at-Hill.[1]
