We are proud to provide a sustainable, affordable, clean and safe water supply and to manage and treat the waste water returned to us in a way that protects the environment.
We all have bad habits when it comes to using water, but by making small changes you can make a big difference and reduce the amount of water you use and the energy used to supply and treat wastewater which is returned to the environment. Water efficiency is about reducing waste and thinking about the water and energy you use. This will encourage you and your family to form good habits.

By changing your bad habits you can save money and reduce your carbon footprint. Everybody can save money by saving water, not only those that pay for their water by meter. Every time you turn on a hot tap, you use gas, electricity or oil to heat the water. By reducing the amount of hot water you use wastefully, you will use less fuel and this will save you money on your utility bills.
