Water is a truly life-giving, precious, natural resource. Whether drinking or dipping; cleansing or cooking, it's vital we appreciate Scotland's water and look after our waterways and reservoirs.
We’ve all seen how Scotland’s climate is changing. Heavy rains can overwhelm sewers causing spills into our communities, rivers and seas. Scottish Water’s ‘Nature Calls’ campaign is calling on everyone to bin wipes, period products and bathroom and kitchen waste.
Most people in Scotland use about 181 litres of Scottish Water daily. If that sounds like a lot, then it is! There isn’t an endless supply of this precious resource, which is why we need to save as much of it as we can. By saving water, you’re helping to reduce you carbon footprint.
Washed, cooked, quenched showered; everyone’s lives are water powered.
Scottish Water is owned by the Scottish public – so it really is your water, and 88% of people in Scotland agree that our water is truly world class. Through 30,000 miles of pipes and more, we deliver clean, fresh water to your taps 24/7, 365 days a year.
Remember, Scottish Water is yours, so use water wisely, it’s precious.
Thanks to you Scotland, you’ve refilled the equivalent of 8 million bottles from our Top up Taps alone! That’s a lot of plastic saved, not to mention every time you top up at home or work, taking single use plastic out of our world.
