With most of the UK now under hosepipe bans, you may be wondering how you’re going to keep your garden green.
And, while we’ve just experienced the longest dry spell in over a century – and with the pundits telling us we’d better get used to it – it’s definitely time for everyone to get their water-conservation hats on. If only, you may be thinking, our water companies would do the same: latest figures from the Water Services Regulation Authority points the finger at five private water suppliers – South West Water, Southern Water, Thames Water, Yorkshire Water and South East Water – who waste 1,259.20 megalitres between them per day. That’s the equivalent of 15,740,000 baths!
