Four ways to save water
Ahead of the UN’s World Water Day, Sustainable Surrey highlight 4 ways you can reduce your water consumption.

Take on the shower challenge:
Taking a 4 minute shower can save over 28,000 litres of water annually! Simply pop-up on your favourite song, jump in the shower and give it a go!
Report leaks:
A leaking tap can waste up to 5,500 litres of water a year – enough to fill a paddling pool every week! Help the University reduce water being wasted by reporting leaks to the Estates Team.
Turn off taps:
Remember to turn off taps after use. Turning off taps whilst brushing your teeth, for instance, saves nearly 800 litres of water a month – enough to fill a small fish tank!
Run full loads:
Washing machines usually use the same amount of water regardless of load size. By putting a full load in the washing machine, you can reduce the number of washes done each week, saving up to 3,000 litres of water annually!
Sign up to the World Water Day talks on Tuesday 17 March 12:30-13:30 in 75 MS 02 to find out more.
