A Southern Water spokesperson said: "Due to hotter summers and less rainfall, increased pressure is put on our 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 we’re on the look out for new and innovative ideas to help reduce water use in businesses.
