1 September 2008: Waterwise Marque helps you save money on water and energy bills
Today Waterwise is relaunching the Waterwise Marque for the third year in a row in order to help consumers save money on water and energy bills. With summer now a mere memory, and the winter months fast approaching, we’ll all soon be heating our homes and watching our energy bills escalate. But by saving water and energy in other areas of the home we can keep costs down. The Waterwise Marque helps consumers identify which products are water efficient and by reducing our hot water consumption, we in turn use less energy and save money.
