Did you know, the average water usage per person is 142 litres in the UK? We need to change our attitude towards water usage, and we need to educate customers from house builders to the end customers.
What can developers do?
Developers can opt for a non-potable water network that delivers green water into your properties.
Water reuse is a more sustainable solution for your site.
These non-potable water networks can be designed to be supplied with water from both foul and surface water which would be treated to US EPA 2012 Reuse guidelines.
A green water system has the following benefits:
- Further reduction of downstream flood risk.
- Reducing the burden on existing water networks.
- Financial saving to customers.
How does it work?
Collecting surface water like rainwater or treated wastewater. Reusing this water for non-potable purposes such as to flush the toilet or water the garden, is a much more sustainable alternative.
How is it more sustainable?
We need to be more conscious about what we are putting out into our planet and how we preserve our water. Water harvesting is an excellent way to help reduce the carbon footprint of your development.
How can Icosa Water help?
Icosa water can design, lay and adopt a non-potable network for your development. In addition to this we educate our household customers, highlighting the importance of saving water with the use of literature, our website and social media platforms. Our customer portal can display their water usage as all new builds are fitted with smart metering resulting in an accurate read on their water consumption.
