Power showers and dual flush toilets could be banned as the Government wants to slash water consumption to 122 litres a day by 2038
Ministers want to cut demand from 144 litres per day to 122 litres a day by 2038 to safeguard the UK’s water supplies.Power showers use up to 16 litres of water per minute, meaning five minutes in the shower can use 80 litres, compared to 20 litres in a typical shower.The new mandatory water efficiency label could also be applied to toilets, with dual flush loos using more water.
The Environment Agency was previously warned of 'a serious risk that some parts of the country will run out of water in the next 20 years'. Officials want to cut non-household water use by 9 per cent in 15 years. Currently, areas in the South West are using more than 160 litres a day.
