We are re-checking Severn Trent's status. It was last confirmed on 18 August 2026 as voluntary appeal, and until it is confirmed again this page does not assert a current position for it.

Hardness is published per census area, not per postcode, so these figures characterise a district rather than measuring one address. They are a scale and taste matter, not a safety one. Hardness data version wessex-water@2022-2025+yorkshire-water@2026.

No signup, no email wall. GeoJSON carries the district points, the supplier and the live status, so it can be dropped straight into a map.

Frequently asked questions
How many postcode districts are in the TF area?
There are 13 TF postcode districts, running from TF1 to TF13, and they contain 7,234 live postcodes across 40 sectors.
What towns does the TF postcode area cover?
TF covers Telford, Market Drayton, Broseley, Newport and Much Wenlock. The area takes its name from Telford, and each district is listed with its settlement in the table on this page.
Which water company supplies TF postcodes?
Severn Trent supplies all 13 TF districts. Supply boundaries follow the pipe network rather than postcode geography, so confirm against your water bill if you are near the edge of the area.
Why do TF1 and TF2 both say Telford?
TF1, TF2, TF3, TF4, TF5, TF6 and TF11 all serve Telford, covering different parts of it. A single town routinely needs more than one postcode district once it passes a few thousand delivery points, so this is normal rather than an error in an address.
Can I download a free TF postcode map?
Yes. This page offers the TF districts as GeoJSON, CSV and SVG, free and with no signup or email address required. The GeoJSON carries each district's position, its water company and its current restriction status, so it can be dropped straight into a mapping tool.
Which councils cover the TF postcode area?
TF reaches into Telford and Wrekin, Shropshire and Staffordshire. A postcode area is not a council area: they were drawn for different purposes and a single district can sit across a council boundary, so your postcode does not tell you which authority you pay.
How many postcode sectors are in TF?
TF contains 40 postcode sectors across its 13 districts. A sector is the district plus the first digit of the second half of the postcode, and it is the level a delivery round is actually planned around.
