This year, the site reports included:

  • overall leakage was 3,031 Ml a day, down 82 Ml on the previous year;

  • water consumption in England and Wales per capita averages, 145l a day;

  • water supplies were interrupted for an average total of 12 minutes per customer last year – up by two minutes on the previous year; and

  • sewer flooding was up – from 6,079 homes (2020-21) to 6,264 (2021-22).

The site provides more information such as where the water we use comes from, or what happens to wastewater after we flush.
