Southern Water on hand to helps households save water

Customers are being encouraged to apply for Southern Water’s offer of a free home visit – to help them save water, and save on their bills.

Households can register their interest in the free water-saving home visit, where an engineer can fit up to £100 of free water-saving devices in kitchens, bathrooms and toilets. These include tap inserts, water-efficient showerheads and dual-flush converters – even water butts outside.

We all rely on water every day. But our population is growing fast, and climate change is bringing greater risk of floods and drought. Earlier this month, Southern Water introduced a Temporary Use Ban in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to protect local rivers, as there is only so much water we can take from our environment.

To conserve this precious resource, we are working hard to reduce leakage and supporting households to use water wisely.

Katy Taylor, Southern Water Chief Customer Officer says, “Get in touch with us, apply, and we’ll book a convenient time for one of our engineers to visit your home. In under two hours, they’ll explain how simple, everyday changes could help you save water, save energy – and, in turn, save money on your bills.”

Following a home visit, one customer in Hampshire said: “Thank you very much for organising the visit. Michael was so helpful and opened our eyes to some of the ways we should view our water usage!”
