Energy Saving Trust
Many of us may not realise that our water use at home contributes to our energy bills and our household carbon emissions.
Saving water can reduce your water bill (if you are on a water meter), reduce your energy use and bills, reduce the impact on your local environment, and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by using less energy to pump, heat and treat the water.
