Under a new program from Wessex Water, technicians carried out more than 22,000 visits to the homes of customers in Mere and Gillingham, sharing tools to help decrease home water consumption. This includes installing over 47,000 water-saving devices, including more efficient shower heads and small strips designed to detect water leakage. These actions have saved more more than 47 liters per household, every day! Home Check started out with just 5,000 people, but has grown to include fifteen thousand households by 2020.
