Tips to reduce your water bill
If you're a customer with a water meter, you can reduce your bill by making some small changes to how much water you use around the house and garden. Even if you are not on a meter, saving water is great for the environment, so see if you can make some of the changes suggested below.
Water bill - how much could you save?
Check for household leaks
A leaking toilet could waste up to 400 litres of water a day, adding to your bill if you're on a meter.
Take less time in the shower
If each member of a family of four spent one minute less in the shower they could save approximately 48 litres of water a day.
Turn off the tap
Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth saves around six litres of water per minute. For a family of four, that could be as much as 96 litres a day!
Saving water in the garden
Collect rainwater
Put all that lovely rainwater to good use by installing a water butt. You could save 1,000's of litres of water throughout the year.
Use a watering can
Give your flowers a drink from a watering can instead of a hose pipe. Water flow is also slower, reducing the chance of water running away before your plants can absorb it.
Leave your lawn
A hosepipe or sprinkler uses 540 litres of water per hour. Don’t over water you lawn, grass is hardy and can bounce back quickly after some lovely rainfall.
