Saving water

Let's work together to save water this winter

During a rainy autumn and winter, it might not feel like it, but the Environment Agency has classified the southeast of England, including our supply area, as being in serious water stress. Here, there is 50 per cent less rainfall than the rest of the UK.

That’s why we’re passionate about conserving water to protect our environment and the wildlife it supports. We’re committing to reduce abstractions in sensitive chalk stream catchments and developing our network to be resilient to the effects of a changing climate. This involves using our smart network to find and fix leaks quicker than ever before.

Being aware of how you use water can also help you protect your home. A sudden change in temperature could cause a leaky pipe to freeze and burst, which could mean a hefty repair bill and an impact to your water supply.

In the winter when we tend to use more energy for heating, using less water could also help you save money on your bill.
