Water is an essential ingredient for a healthy life.  Drinking water is good for you, so it makes sense that we actively encourage our customers to drink the recommended eight glasses of tap water a day to be healthy and to stay healthy.

After all, our customers enjoy drinking water that is amongst the highest quality in the country, it is tested and purified 97 times before it arrives at your tap. 

It is good value too, with about 50 glasses of crystal clear, refreshing drinking water from your tap for about a penny. 

Drinking enough water helps our bodies to work better.  It combats dehydration, which can lead to tiredness, headaches and lack of concentration.  It also prevents a wide range of health problems from kidney stones, heart disease, breast, bowel and prostrate cancer to trips and falls in the elderly.  It also makes you look better by toning up your skin and giving it vibrancy and colour.

Our water for health campaign is tailored to meet the needs of specific customer groups.  'Growing things need watering' focuses on the family.  'Water for the young at heart' explains to our more mature customers how water can prevent illnesses.  Whilst 'Chill out' looks at water provision in schools and businesses to help concentration and keep people mentally alert. 

To help us reach our younger customers we have developed the 'H20 Gang' who will help them to understand just how precious water is for life, for their health and for the environment.  Download the 'H20 Gang' comics below, and also download some 'H20' Gang' super' water facts.

Are you fit for life?

The latest in the H20 Gang comic series, is the first edition to be turned into an exciting cartoon adventure.  The animation has been produced in sign language with English audio, to be accessible for both deaf and hearing children.  Join the H20 gang as they sign up to Change4Life, to educate young people about eating well, moving more and living longer.
