Saving water

Water in numbers:

• in the UK, the average person uses 150 litres of water a day
• a shower can use around 49 litres of water a day, and
• brushing your teeth with the tap on can waste 6 litres a minute.

Wasting water is like pouring your money down the drain.

If you think not having a meter means you can use as much as you like, think again.

We're lucky here in the north of England, but clean water is not unlimited. We all need to think about how we use water, and what we can do to cut down our usage.
