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.

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
