Water resources

Tap water is precious – why use more than you need? Being water savvy is a win-win for the environment and your wallets (if you’re on a water meter).

Summers are predicted to get drier and winters wetter, with more intense heavy rainfall. Now more than ever, we need to do everything we can to help nature out. Every litre of water saved is a litre left in the environment. The less water we use, the more we can keep our rivers and streams flowing and nature thriving.

We're on a mission to tackle leakage

We’re using the latest tech. We monitor our network with drones, satellites and listening devices. Drones are helping us cover huge areas quicker. Satellites show signs of potential leaks across the region. And our leakage technicians are kitted out with advanced listening devices to make tracking down the exact point of a leak easier.

We've got 140 leak detectors - planners, engineers, analysts - tackling leaks across the South West every day. They’re listening to our pipes and pinpointing the exact spot of a leak. No matter what time or weather, if one of our pipes near you bursts then we’ll be there fixing it.

The Water-Saving Community Fund

We’re passionate about conserving supplies for people and the environment today, and future generations. But we can’t do it alone, we need everyone to play their part to help save tap water and avoid waste. We’re always looking at new and innovative ways to get our customers and communities involved in water conservation, which is why we’ve set up the Water-Saving Community Fund.
