- Abstract:
According to the Governments' proposed housing policy, 4.4 million new homes will be required in the UK by the year 2016. Many of these dwellings will be required in areas that experience water restrictions during periods of low rainfall. This paper links the large quantities of 'potable', drinking quality water used for flushing toilets and the significant opportunities to save water within the new housing units by utilising 'grey and rain water' systems. The financial viability and contractor attitudes to water conservation systems were solicited, through a survey of 100 NHBC registered firms. 50 Companies, nation wide, responded . Indications were that 40% of the companies would consider installation of such systems, given a cost of between £500 and £1 000 per new dwelling. Of the 40% , 22% considered that if the water conservation systems were installed, their house sales would be likely to increase.
