Household across Nottinghamshire and beyond are looking for ways to saving money at the moment. Energy bills are rising, and food and fuel are on the same upward path. One expert, however, says that savings of up to £1,500 can be made by households.
By reducing water use at home, the knock effect is that savings can also be made on utility bills, according to data from the Consumer Council for Water and Severn Trent.
Sophie Evans-Young, Water Efficiency Manager at Severn Trent, said: “Many people are surprised to hear how much of an impact reducing water use can have on energy bills. On average, most of us spend 10 minutes in the shower – although someone once told me they're in there for 40 minutes! – but there are massive savings to be made by just cutting it back by five minutes.
