Buckinghamshire Council is pleased to announce that its Energy Doctor scheme is now able to offer new water-saving devices to help low-income households save money on their water and energy bills.
The Energy Doctor scheme provides a range of resource-saving measures to eligible households. These now include:
- aerating shower heads
- 4-minute shower timers
- cistern water displacement bags for use in non-dual flush toilets
Using an aerated shower head or shower timer is estimated to save £50 in terms of household annual water and energy costs. The cistern water displacement bags displace around 1 litre of water every flush – which can achieve savings of approximately 4,800 litres per year.
Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, Gareth Williams, said:
"We are committed to helping our residents save money on their utility bills while also reducing their carbon footprint. These new water-saving devices
