Spruce up showers and bathrooms to save money
02/06/2010 09:50:06
With World Environment Day approaching, the Consumer Council for Water has some suggestions that could help both the environment and the cost of households' showers and bathrooms.
Ahead of the June 5th event, homeowners are advised to shower, rather than bathe, in order to save on hot water bills.
Shortening showers can also save a further £5-10, according to the organisation, for each minute saved over the course of a year.
Households are advised to invest in new washers for leaky plumbing joints, whether they are in showers and bathrooms or elsewhere in the home, to reduce water bills by as much as £18.
Low-flow shower heads, a further means of reducing the amount of water used - and the amount which must be heated - are recommended as a way of saving a potential 30 per cent in costs.
The Consumer Council for Water is sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs but is itself a non-departmental public body.
