Protect our Water Supplies with these easy steps

Published on: July 15, 2026

A few small changes today can help protect water supplies for everyone.

Anglian Water are seeing a sharp increase in water use across our region and are asking communities to reduce nonessential use wherever possible.

If we all do a little, we can make a big difference and here are some quick wins:

  • Water gardens early morning or late evening
  • Reuse bath water for plants
  • Avoid filling paddling pools
  • Avoid washing the car

Every drop really does count right now.
