We all need water and use it in so many ways around the home. Whether it’s cooking, washing our hands, showering, bathing, cleaning, gardening, washing the car or simply flushing the toilet. The litres soon add up!

145 Bottles

Each household in the UK uses on average around 345 litres of water each day – that’s 145 litres per person, every day.

- Energy Saving Trust

Did you know that using more water can also affect your other utility bills! About 12% of a typical gas-heated household’s energy bill is from heating the water for showers, baths, and hot water from the tap.

 

How can I save water?

Turn The Tap Off

A running tap can use more than ten litres of water a minute, so turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing your face. Use cold water if you don’t need hot.

We aim to install devices that are efficient to reduce the amount of water used in our homes. We’re also working in partnership with local water companies such as Severn Trent Water and South Staffordshire Water to offer water saving advice, install water saving devices and repair any leaks as quickly as possible.
