While everyone’s been at home more, we’ve all been using more water – your bill may have gone up as a result.
To help you keep your bills down, here are some everyday ways you could save water this spring – along with how we can help if you’re struggling to pay.
Save money while it’s sunny
When the sun is up, nobody wants to shrivel in a steaming bathtub. So why not trade your bath for a short shower? You’ll use half as much water, which could save you around £50 a year.
Nothing beats a cuppa when you’re cold. But as the days warm up, your tea-round is probably getting smaller. If you’re popping the kettle on, only boil what you need – you’ll save water, energy and time.
Watch your savings grow
For many of us, spring is the time to get gardening. If you’ve got a green thumb, choose less-thirsty plants from the Waterwise plant guide. As well as saving, you won’t have to remember to water them as often!
If you have a garden, your hose can splurge enough water each minute to make 80 cups of tea. Swap yours for a watering can…
