With water bills set to rise by an average of £123 in April this year – pushing the annual average bill from £480 to £603, higher than the £86 increase originally forecast by Ofwat in December – many households will be feeling the financial pressures amid the ongoing rise in the cost of living.
If you’re looking for an easy way to save money, reducing your water bill by up to £170 could be as simple as tweaking your shower routine. Daniel Lintell, a shower expert at Triton Showers, shares a practical tip to help households reduce their water bill.
“With household bills on the rise, many people are looking for practical ways to manage their water consumption and keep costs under control. One of the simplest ways that households can make a financial saving on their water bill is by simply reducing the amount of time they spend in the shower. Not only does this reduce water usage but it also cuts down the energy required to heat the water.
"If a family of three each shorten their average shower time from eight minutes to five – assuming they each have five showers per week at 41 degrees – they could save an estimated £170 a year on their water bill. With this small change to your routine, it’s easy to see a significant saving – conserving water and energy, without compromising on comfort.”
