THIS EVENT IS NOT FOR UNIVERSITIES.

Join us and Sustainability Support for Education for a live webinar on how to take action to protect your education settings’ water resources.

Wholesale water prices are expected to increase by 42%, on average, over the next five years. It is likely these increases will be front loaded over years one and two (2025/26, 2026/27), tailing off towards 2030. The only way to affect such wholesale charges is to use less water through better usage management, efficiency measures and leakage detection. Therefore, to mitigate the emerging wholesale prices increases, settings will need to act now to reduce their water consumption.Join Sustainability Support for Education and the Climate Ambassadors in an interactive webinar to help you:

• Understand the new cost increases
• See how your setting’s water use compares to other settings
• Identify SIMPLE actions you can take to (i) reduce water consumption, (ii) save money, (iii) encourage your students water stewardship, and add these actions to your Climate Action Plan.
• Hear real case studies of steps other settings have taken that have reduced their water consumption and saved money!
• Opportunity for Q and A with a water sector specialist from Anglian Water
