Save water and energy
Find out how you can save water and energy to save money and reduce your impact on the environment.
Why we all need to save water
Brighton & Hove’s water mostly comes from underground sources. This means we’re more at risk of having short, severe droughts.
Climate change means we’re also likely to see longer dry periods and more water shortages in the future.
