North Kesteven District Council supports hosepipe ban in Lincolnshire
ANGLIAN Water's hosepipe ban is being supported by North Kesteven District Council.
The council has been working with Anglian Water to map its water usage at its Sleaford Civic Offices and Metheringham waste and recycling depot. The authority's total annual use is around 5200m3.
North Kesteven is in one of the driest areas of the country, which has seen its driest 18 months for more than 100 years. The council has had its Sleaford offices audited by Anglian Water, who found them in excellent condition. Metheringham waste and recycling depot scheduled for audit and fitted 'Freddie frog flush reducers' for its Sleaford office toilets.
North Kesteven District Council is also working with partners like Sodexo and Leisure Connection to reduce water use. Leisure Connection has already installed water-saving aerated showers and taps, toilet cistern bags, urinal controls and water conditioning to reduce limescale and is also installing smart meters, benchmarking and analysing water use as part of a "good housekeeping" approach to water use.
