Water shortages
We don't anticipate the need to impose water restrictions but urge customers to use water wisely.
Luke de Vial, head of water resources and supply, said: “Much of the water we supply to customers is from underground sources such as aquifers.
“It is important that everyone does their bit in conserving water and looks to make minor lifestyle changes that will help reduce the likelihood of water shortages in the future.”
We suggest the following top five tips:
- don’t leave the tap running when brushing your teeth
- take a short shower instead of a bath
- use your washing machine and dishwasher only when full
- fix dripping taps
- fit a water butt and use a watering can in the garden.
