We all use water every day, for everything from flushing the loo to making a brew, and everything else in between.
Whether your business uses water as a key part of its everyday operations, or simply for hydration and hygiene in the workplace, a few simple changes that you make to save water will make a big difference to our supply network this summer.
Saving water in your business is easier than you think, without affecting day-to-day operations. Here are a few ideas:
Tap into wasted water
A dripping tap might not seem like much, but it can waste up to 5,000 litres of water a year! Fixing a dripping tap is a quick and easy way to save water in your business.
Sneaky leaky loos
A sneaky leaky loo (or two!) can be costing you as much as 4 baths of water a day each. Order FREE LeakyLoo™ detection strips from us here, to check if your loos might have a leak.
Implement a water-saving policy
Encourage staff to be conscious of their water use at work with a water-saving policy. Simple changes like turning off taps fully and reporting a leak if they spot one, will make a big difference.
Water in your area
Our household and non-household customers' efforts to be mindful of their water use during the warm weather last summer meant our reservoirs recovered quickly in autumn and early winter.
As we move into summer, all areas are currently at green alert level. This means you can use water as normal. However, we’d really appreciate it if you could continue to be mindful of how much water you use. This helps keep the taps flowing for everyone.
We’re doing everything we can to treat and supply water as quickly as possible. But treated water is fresh, so we can only store it for a limited time. There’s also a limit to how much water we can treat each day. Our sites work 24/7, but if people use more water than we can produce, some customers may temporarily lose supply in some areas.
This is why we encourage you to reuse water where you can. It really makes a difference.
