High demand across our network

With the driest spring on record for over a century and with the increasing temperatures over the next week we are doing everything we can to keep all our customers in supply with top-quality drinking water.

Fixing leaks and using smart technology to manage water pressures are some of the ways we are using to keep up with the increased demand for water during hot weather.

We're doing plenty of activity to keep water flowing, including using tankers to move extra water to where its most needed.

The hot and dry weather that’s come in this week puts real pressure on all our systems so we’re asking everyone to play their part when it comes to saving water.

Shaving two minutes off the average 10-minute shower saves 20 litres of water and turning the tap off when you brush your teeth can save up to nine litres of water a minute.

We’re also asking customers take a break from using hosepipes in gardens and around the home if they can. It’s not a ban but it will really help keep water in supply for everyone in your local area.
