Water bills are set to increase by around 7% this month
With this in mind, experts are encouraging homeowners to check their water appliances are functioning correctly and effectively, whilst also being more mindful of how much water they use.
A useful water-saving technique to be mindful of is to choose the correct flush on your toilet once you’ve finished. Many toilets now have a dual flush function that uses different amounts of water for different needs.If you have a dripping tap at home, this will amount to thousands of litres of water wasted over the course of a year.
If you find the water meter doesn’t save you money you always have the option to switch back within 12 months, so it’s worth trying out for the potential savings.To save water, it is worth considering doing the waking up without leaving the tap running - instead, fill up a bowl of hot water and clean the lot in one go.
