Saving water

By using less water you can save money on your bills, while also helping the environment.


What are the benefits of saving water?

Using less water will help you save money on your water bill if you have a water meter. Saving hot water can substantially reduce your energy bill too.

Saving water also benefits the environment as less carbon is produced treating and transporting your water. Plus, it means more water is available for our rivers and streams during dry weather, which also benefits local wildlife.

Got a leaky loo?

A leaking toilet could be costing you £50 a year, while also wasting 400 litres of water per day, which is about the same as having two extra people living in your home.

With around 10% of homes having a leaky loo, it’s important to regularly check yours for leaks.
