Water Facts

Imagine yourself in swimming in a pool 7 metres long, 4 wide and 2 deep: not a big pool but large enough to take some good exercise. It contains the amount of water it is estimated you use every year in the UK: 58 400 litres or 160 litres a day. How do we manage to use so much? Well, here are some startling facts..

Water Use in the home

Average Bath	100 litres
Average WC use daily	50 litres (old WCs use 9 litres per flush, new dual flush 4 or 2.5 litres)
5 min shower	33 litres (more like 100 with a power shower)
Leaving tap running	e.g. washing up or cleaning teeth. 5 to 10 litres a minute
