Sutton and East Surrey Water (SESW) is backing a national week-long campaign to promote simple water saving tips for the home, garden, schools, workplace and communities.
The company has joined forces with Waterwise and WaterSafe for Water Saving Week, which runs from 21 – 25 March 2016.

The campaign aims to raise awareness of the need for everyone to use water wisely - whatever the weather and wherever the location - to protect this precious and finite resource for generations to come.
The campaign will see five themes across the week, all with daily challenges and water saving tips. These include “water in school”, “water in your workplace” and “water in your home”.
For homes, schools and businesses which are on a water meter and pay for the amount of water they use, this can also mean welcome savings on water and energy bills.
And as the campaign coincides with Easter – the traditional time of year gardeners start thinking about this season’s planting and families get out and about – other themes include “water in the garden” and “water in the community”.
Alison Murphy, Water Resources Manager for SESW said: “We’re proud to be supporting Waterwise and WaterSafe with this year’s Water Saving Week. Customers can follow us on Twitter @SESWater or visit waterplc.com for some top tips on how to save water, energy and money.”
Jacob Tompkins, Managing Director of Waterwise, said: “We’re building on the success of last year’s launch campaign with an exciting range of activities to raise awareness about the need to save water and share simple ideas and tips to help everyone do their bit.
“We’re also delighted that WaterSafe - the water industry-backed plumber accreditation scheme - has become an official partner of Water Saving Week, as there is clearly a strong link with plumbers who share advice with customers at home or work every day.”
Julie Spinks, Director of WaterSafe, said: “We want to support households to reduce their water waste, not restrict their water use.
“WaterSafe approved plumbers have the expertise to help homes and businesses become more water efficient – around one third of the water each person uses on a daily basis is wasted, so there is huge potential to make savings.”
