Anglian Water currently supply the same amount of water as we did in 1989 Unmanaged demand 3 Managed demand: Metering / leakage / water efficiency
Industrial water usage in the UK 4 Envirowise EN 952 review of water use in industry and commerce
Water efficiency – vital to Anglian Water Limited resource • One of the driest regions in the country • Just 600 mm of rain each year • 3 rd less than the national average • Lower rainfall person than in Sudan / Syria External pressures • Growing region • EA pressure to reduce abstractions • Ofwat targets • Climate change Energy • Flat low lying region • ¼ below sea level • 80, 000 km water / wastewater networks • Pumping is energy intensive 5 • Energy costs rising 5
Saving water – the drivers • UK population expected to reach 65 Million by 2020 • growth is essential to the UK economy • water demand could increase by 5% • an additional 800 million litres of water a day!!!!! • Water consumption the UK is already water stressed Reducing Carbon Footprint Reducing costs • heating water needs a lot of energy • saving water will reduce your water and energy bills! • the more hot water we use, the greater the emissions of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change • lower operating costs for water companies means lower water charges for customers • using hot water in our homes alone contributes around 35 million tonnes of greenhouse gases a year. • reducing water consumption will help plug the UK energy gap 6 6
Saving water – Stage 1 Build on solid foundations There needs to be a commitment to water efficiency at senior management level Make sure the bills are not simply paid by your accounts department Key personnel should have access and use the bills to check and drive consumption 7 Focus on reducing your water footprint by appointing at least one person as your water champion

Retro-fit Products • Eco. Beta toilet flushing device • Tap Inserts • Shower flow regulators and water efficient heads • Water displacement devices 11
Opportunities to save • Installing water efficient appliances and fittings at the building stage helps occupiers to save water, energy and money more easily • Installing more water efficient appliances when updating sanitary ware • Installing water saving devices on existing appliances will improve performance 12
