SAVING WATER Being economical in our own use of water makes good sense both today and for the future of the water environment in which we live. Even though water resources in Hampshire and West Sussex are usually replenished by winter rainfall, if we abstract too much water for public water supplies, we may risk damaging the water environment. Fortunately, at Portsmouth Water we abstract less today than we did 15 years ago (see the Water Efficiency Plan for further details). However, it is important that everyone plays their part in ensuring that sufficient water resources are sustained for future generations, not just of humans but all species on the planet. Here we outline the Company's plan for encouraging efficient use of water supplies as well as outlining some tips for saving water in domestic households, commercial businesses and Schools; if you are charged for your water supply by meter they will help you save money too!
