The park with winding paths, wildflowers, ancient trees and a river walk<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n And United Utilities bosses are urging people to realise that ‘every drop counts’\n<\/p>\n
\n The following tips have been issued for customers to save water:\n<\/p>\n
\n Fix dripping taps and leaking toilets\u00a0–\u00a0a leaky loo can waste 200-400 litres a day\n <\/p>\n
\n Leave your lawn\u00a0as grass is resilient and will bounce back when it starts to rain\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
\n Use a watering can\u00a0instead of a hosepipe and direct the water at the roots\u00a0\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
\n Install a water butt\u00a0so when it rains, collect it for your garden\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
\n Delete old emails and pictures\u00a0– data centres use vast amounts of water to cool their servers and\u00a0by reducing the amount you store, you\u2019ll reduce the amount they use. Over time, deleting just 1,000 emails could save a whopping 39 litres!\n <\/p>\n
\n Matt Hemmings\u202f, chief operating officer of United Utilities, said: “\u202fThanks to everyone who has already made changes to help save water.\u00a0 Please continue to reduce, reuse, and recycle water wherever you can.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Every drop counts!”\n<\/p>\n
\n Schools in the\u00a0area can book a FREE water saving visit. Groundwork will check for leaks on taps and toilets – and fix them for free!\n<\/p>\n
\n United Utilities said: “It\u2019s a great way to help schools save water, energy, and money. If you’re connected to a local school, spread the word!”\n<\/p>\n
