Turn that tap off!

Did you know that a family of four could save a bathful of water a day if they turned off the tap when cleaning their teeth? Although the drought in the South East is officially over and the hosepipe bans have been lifted, it is still vital that we cut our water consumption. There are many other easy ways to save water: little things like having a shower instead of a bath which saves on average 50 litres, only using the dishwasher and washing machine for full loads, fitting a water butt for watering plants to name but a few. The dry conditions over the last two years have hopefully served to make us aware of just how precious a commodity water is and that we all have to do our bit.
