Currently, the average water bill for homes in the UK is around £396.60 and we use approximately 345 litres of water per day. Being more efficient in the way that we use water can help us reduce household bills and it will also positively impact the environment.
When thinking about the benefits of reducing the amount of water we use in our homes, we often only consider the impact that it will have on our water bills.
