Hundreds of South West Water customers have put pen to paper and fingers to keyboard to share their top water-saving tips.
Nearly 500 customers either posted a tip on the company’s Facebook page, filled in a water-saving pledge at events over the summer or wrote a letter to the company’s headquarters.
The winners of the £100 shopping voucher and 30 water butts are being contacted this week.
South West Water’s Head of Environment, Rob Scarrott, said: “Summer 2018 was the joint hottest on record – with 2006, 2003 and 1976 – and very dry, particularly from May to August.
“Overall reservoir storage is at a satisfactory level but we have been asking customers to use water wisely as the more water we all save now the more will be left for the rest of the year.Small changes in water use make a big difference when multiplied by the millions of people we serve.
“We want to thank all our customers for their support so far this year in helping save water. This helps them save money but also leaves more in the environment.
“It’s been great to see so many customers enthusiastically sharing their top water-saving tips. Congratulations to all our winners!”
