What it's all about

We all cook with it, clean with it and most importantly drink it – we use it to flush the loo, have a bath and wash our clothes – tap water is a vital part of our everyday lives. Every year the population grows and demand for tap water increases. Many think it rains all the time and don’t realise that tap water is a precious and limited resource.

Have you got an idea to help save water in your local community?

We’re looking for projects - big and small - whether it’s rainwater flushing public loos, drought tolerant gardens, water butts in community allotments, educational displays in schools, or harnessing new technology to change behaviour towards water use.

Conserving water for future generations

We’re passionate about conserving supplies for people and the environment today, and future generations. 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.

We review all projects applying for £1000 and under every month. Projects that are applying for over £1000 are submitted to our panel of judges for a final decision. The panel meets every six months – every October and April.
