Bathroom and kitchen fittings have been chosen with design features which minimise water use to save natural resources and reduce costs.

You will be charged for the amount of water you use, so it makes sense to save water when you can by taking simple actions:

• Arrange for any leaks or dripping taps to be repaired promptly. • Don’t leave taps running when brushing your teeth. • Only fill kettles with the amount of water you need – this will save electricity as well.
