Using water wisely

Use Water Wisely

Why save water? Clean water is an increasingly precious resource and it makes sense to use it carefully all year round. One of the effects of climate change will be more unpredictable weather such as droughts, where water could be in short supply.

Remember - every time you use water you are also adding to your carbon footprint. We use enormous amounts of energy every year to collect, treat and transport clean water to your home, so the more you can save the better. There are lots of simple things we can all do, from turning off the tap whilst brushing your teeth to making sure you run washing machines and dishwashers with a full load.  Find out more at our water and your carbon footprint page.

NEW!! Visit our Water efficient home to find out how much water we use around the home and garden and our top tips for using water wisely.  Then why not try out our water calculator to find out how much water is used in your home each day?

If you would like to know more, call for a Water Savers Pack, which includes a free save-a-flush, by using our Water Savers' Pack order form link, or by phoning our leaflet line below?

Tip of the season: Check your pipes and external taps are lagged - a frozen pipe can burst when thawed, wasting a lot of clean water.  For more information on what to do in this cold spell, please follow the link on the right.
