An online version of a UK tv network has a story about water usage. Customers in the southeastern section of the UK have been urged to cut down on water usage. This is because this area has received roughly half of its average rain this year. The water utility recommends water saving measures such as taking showers instead of baths and turning off the water when brushing teeth. The utility has offered free devices to minimize water usage.
