People are being warned to use water wisely - despite one of the wettest summers on record last year. Last year's rainfall returned water resources to a healthy level but Severn Trent is urging its customers not to take this for granted. Marcus O'Kane, Severn Trent water resources strategy manager said: "We are now looking ahead to the upcoming spring and summer period with our water sources in a good position. "Our reservoirs are currently around 94 per cent full on average across the region. "The Severn Trent water region is supplied with a mixture of reservoir, groundwater and river water sources, all of which are again in a healthy state. "Our plans for the coming year are in place and we are confident that we're in a good position to provide our customers with a continuous supply of water throughout the year. "But we would still ask our customers to be sensible with the amount of water they use as you never know when the next drought might be. "According to the Met Office, across the UK February saw only 66 per cent of the average rainfall expected for the month and January only 88 per cent, so already we're seeing less than usual. Getting into good habits now will help everyone if we have any issues in the future." "We would like to say thank you for that and in fact, homes in the Midlands are now some of the most water efficient in the UK. We have tons of good advice on how to save water, from tips for in the home, such as only using the dishwasher when you have a full load, knocking a minute off your shower time and even free water efficiency devices for your home."
