Water-saving home visit

From 31 March 2023, we're only taking home visit referrals via our Customer Services and Affordability teams to target customers using a lot of water. We're reaching out to everyone who we supply with both water and waste services, who has a water meter. If you're eligible, we'll email or write to you to arrange an appointment.

Visits are carried out by our partner RPS Environmental Management Ltd with its sub-contractor Aqualogic. All engineers have ID cards displaying all three company logos. Please ask to see ID before allowing anyone into your property.

Every year, our region is home to more people using the same amount of water. If we keep using it at our current rate, demand for water will overtake the amount we’re able to supply – and there’s only so much we can take from our environment.

To conserve this precious resource, we’ve committed to reduce leakage and we’re looking at new ways to reuse water. But we need your help too.

We want to help our customers reduce how much water they use to 100 litres per person, per day by 2040 – we call this Target 100. We’re committed to helping you get there, while we work hard to reduce leakage by 40% in the same timeframe. 

Thanks for booking your water saving home visit. Here are some extra ideas if you’re looking for even more ways to save water.
