During the hot summer of 2006 we were able to maintain water supplies to all our customers without a hosepipe ban or any other restriction on water usage - even though we saw the demand for water in some areas increase by up to 40% during peak times in July – mainly as a result of garden watering. We intend to do the same in future years, whatever the weather – after all this is our job. However we know that you would want us to make sure that we don’t take any more water from the environment than we need to. We are fi rmly committed to water conservation and water effi ciency and advise all our customers to use water wisely wherever possible. This leafl et shows you how you can use water more wisely in your home and garden. It is surprising how, with just a little more thought, we can all reduce the amount of water we use doing everyday tasks. 1DIY Water Audit for Homes E 08.i2 2DIY Water Audit for Homes E 08.i2 2 226/6/08 15:19:016/6/08 15:19:01If you spot a leak, please call 0800 281 432How much water do How much water do ...
