Tips for preventing water loss and water bill support
Around 1 in 14 homes suffer from water losses, like dripping taps, leaky loos and even outdoor taps and hoses.
Colder temperatures and changeable weather can cause a leaky pipe to freeze, and sometimes burst, which could mean a hefty repair bill and an impact to your water supply.
Prepare your home now through checking for leaks and insulating pipes throughout your household. Reducing leaks could even save you money on your bill.
