Water Reuse Week 2025
Water Reuse Week 2025 is running from the 15th–21st September this year. This national campaign is hoping to raise awareness of the importance of saving and reusing water. Everyone, from large organisations to individual households can play a part.
​
Companies
​
Companies are invited to contact the UK WRA to discuss water reuse systems for their businesses. They can audit water usage on site and identify opportunities for grey water of rainwater reuse. Also, they can pledge to reduce water consumption and share their commitment on social media using #WaterReuseWeekUK.
​
Schools
​​
Schools can access the online resources, and also the video which the UK WRA have produced to teach children about water reuse from a young age. Schools can also encourage pupils to design water saving posters, conduct water audits at school or potentially to create a rain garden. Pupils will be encouraged to take part in the national poster design competition.
​​
Individuals and families
​​​
Everyone at home can make simple, powerful changes by doing the following:
-
Collecting rainwater for gardening using water butts,
-
Reusing water where safe – such as using cooled pasta cooking water to water plants,
-
Installing water-saving devices, like dual flush systems or aerated shower heads,
-
Turning off the tap while brushing teeth,
-
Fixing leaks promptly – even a dripping tap can waste litres a day,
-
Spreading the word on social media to raise awareness and encourage others to act.
