Waterwise is encouraging households to join its water awareness campaign by turning off their taps for a few hours during Water Night on 19 October to support stronger action on climate change and water awareness.

To take part in Water Night, households will turn off all non-essential taps between 5pm to 10pm during the evening of Thursday 19 October. The campaign aims to highlight the importance of being careful with water use, inform around the strong link between water and energy consumption and improve knowledge around using water wisely.

To join in, visit the website where water efficiency advice and information about the current water challenges being faced by the UK can also be found.
