Watch out for leaks
If you have a meter you can use it to check whether you have a water leak.
To check that you do not have a leak on any pipework after the meter:
- Turn off all taps
- Read the meter (including the red digits)
- Do not use any water for a length of time (eg overnight or while you are out for the day).
- Read the meter again
If the second reading is higher than the first there may be a leak.
Go for tap
The price you pay for tap water is far, far less than it costs for bottled water. Just £1 will buy you well over a 1000 litres.
See if you have a soakaway
If the rainwater that falls onto your property drains into a soakaway, instead of the sewer, you may be able to ask for a surface water drainage discount.
