thanks

Braintree District Council has been sending out details of a new widget that goes between the shower hose and the shower head to save water cost.

As the bothy is not on metered mains water it all seemed a little pointless. Why not just turn the tap down, or shower with a friend?

The best idea I've heard so far is a display off the water meter that shows water usage over the last 24 hours. Its placed somewhere in the home where everyone can read it. Cheapest flow control is to change water wasting habits...
