Saving water
Why save water?
Brighton & Hove’s water comes only from underground sources and so we are vulnerable to short, severe droughts. Climate change will mean that we are likely to see longer periods without rain and water shortage in the future.
Water meters encourage us to use less water. They are installed in 41 per cent of households in the city. Southern Water aims to install a water meter in every household by 2015.
