Other water projects | Water - What are we doing?

Measuring water use across the Council estate is the first step in helping spot ways to reduce the amount of water that we use. We now have around 170 active automatic water meter readers in place including in schools, other Council buildings, and parks. Using information from the meters, we monitor our water use weekly to spot leaks and other issues. This helps to identify the causes of water wastage so that these can be fixed. Fixing one leak alone from an allotment site helped save thousands of pounds of potential future water bills. Monitoring our water has also helped us to spot opportunities and make changes such as fitting water reduction measures in school urinals.
