If your business has a great idea to save water, but not the funds to make it happen, then Southern Water wants to hear from you!

Water is a precious resource. Every year the population of the South East grows, but the amount of available water remains the same.

Due to hotter summers and less rainfall, this is putting increased pressure on water supplies. If we keep consuming at our current rate, in time, demand will outstrip supply – as there’s only so much we can take from our environment.

That’s just one reason why Southern Water is on the lookout for new and innovative ideas to help reduce water use in businesses across Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Sussex and Kent. Can you help save a little water and make a lot of difference?

If you have an idea for a project – whether it’s harvesting rain or shower water, fitting flow restrictors on taps, harnessing new technology to save water, or anything else you can think of – then they want to hear from you!

The application for funding support is open to all eligible businesses and they will consider all partly and fully funded projects where they will contribute, match or fully fund those that they select and that meets their criteria.

Applications can be submitted until Sunday, 31 December 2023. Southern Water will then review all applications and the successful projects will be awarded funding from January 2024.
