Water

We use water everyday without thinking about it.

On average each person in the UK currently uses about 150 litres of water every day and much of this is wasted.

Around 30% of the average household gas bill is spent on heating water and your energy bills could be even higher if you use an electric immersion heater.

By saving water you'll be saving energy, reducing your home's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and helping to fight climate change.
