‘Drop 20’ This campaign aims to persuade us all to

reduce our water use by at least 20 litres every day.

Fixing leaksThere are around 37,000 kms of water pipes under the ground in the Anglian Water region – that’s enough pipe to wrap around the Earth at the equator! So it’s a big job to track down and fix any leaks. The company fixes around 30,000 leaks every year.

Moving water to the most vulnerable areasThe company uses pipes to move water from where there is a good supply to areas where there is less water available.

Investing for the futureAnglian Water has invested in fitting water meters, drilling new boreholes, finding and fixing leaks, pumping water to areas badly affected by drought, and providing water-saving gadgets for our homes. The company is also building a new reservoir in the Lincoln area.

What can I do to help?We each use an average of 145 litres of water a day at home. Just think how much water could be saved if we each dropped 20 litres - or about two full buckets - every day!

You could drop:

1 litre per flush

Fix ‘Save-a-Flush Freddie’ in the toilet cistern

12 litres turn off the tap for two minutes when brushing your teeth

16 litres spend two minutes less in the shower.

Anglian Water is giving away free water-saving kits like ‘Save-a-Flush Freddie’ to help you reach your ‘Drop 20’ target.http://www.anglianwater.co.uk/environment/using- water-wisely/we- products.aspx
