Southern Water has partnered with Save Water Save Money to offer the people of the Isle of Wight GetWaterFit, a free online water-saving tool.
The interactive software is designed to help households save water, in turn helping them save energy and money on their bills. Savings are linked to charitable donations, allowing customers to give as they save.
Customers can get started by entering their postcode and answering simple questions about their household water use. GetWaterFit then creates a personalised water action plan via a customer dashboard, which includes tailored challenges to help them save. Customers can use the dashboard to track their progress and are awarded ‘coins’ for completing water-saving challenges, which they can donate to local charities and WaterAid.
If customers want to make even bigger savings, GetWaterFit provides the opportunity to book a free 15-minute video consultation, then order water-saving devices. During the consultation, the customer will receive a live demonstration on how to fit the devices, along with more water-saving suggestions.
Tim Robertson, CEO of Save Water Save Money, commented:
“We’re excited to partner with Southern Water to promote efficient water use. GetWaterFit helps customers understand how and where they use water in the home and empowers them to take simple steps to reduce their use. Together with enhanced insights into customer behaviour and in-home leakage, we can play our part in addressing environmental concerns surrounding water and water scarcity.”
Brenda Edwards, Water Efficiency Contract Manager, adds:
“The South East is a water-stressed region. The population is growing and climate change means there’s less water to go round, especially during hot weather. So we all need to do our bit to make sure there’s enough for everyone. This free tool is the best way for people who wish to make water savings, both for the benefit of the environment as well as their finances, to get started and find out how.”

Would that be the same Southern Water that’s just been fined a record £90M for dumping billions of litres of raw sewage off the north Kent and Hampshire coasts to avoid costs and penalties?
Yes you are correct and it’s also the company that took weeks trying to locate a leak on Horsebridge Hill turning it into a patchwork quilt. How much water gets wasted by this company
Yes thats them, they got off lightly, because they could have been fined any amount of money it would not have bothered them they will just pass it on to us the consumer.
Yep & all of us customers will be paying for it to protect the directors bonus.
Yes, but I think you’ll find it was 6,971 accidents which they could not have avoided.
Yes the same. And who will pay the fine? Southern Water customers.
Get rid of highly paid CEO’s like Tim Robertson, that’ll push down the price of everything. Too many people on the gravy train
I’d like to change water companies if possible.
would be better if they give us the £75 the courts told them to
AKA Southern Sewage to the tune of £91 Million, staggering.
How’s about just treating the waste water instead of dumping raw sewage where we swim. And obliterating local fishing business and single handedly destroying whole ecosystems. Baby steps Southern Water. Are those water saving devices we fit ourselves free or is the online seminar a sales pitch? Just wondering. This isn’t a story it’s a poor effort at damage control.
This is the company that just does patch repairs to the crumbling pipework.
Yes they are replacing some pipework with new, but lack of replacing pipework over the years has lead to leaks occurring all over the Island.
If they reduced the amount of lost water instead of extracting more and more from boreholes which is causing brooks to run dry, they wouldn’t have to keep saying we have to save water.
