Businesses across Sussex are being offered a new service to help stop dripping water.

Southern Water has teamed up with water management company Flow Control Water Conservation to help firms reduce water wastage.

The new one-stop shop water management service will help identify and rectify leaks as well as advising on other ways of cutting water consumption, so leading to savings on bills.

Southern Water's commercial customers can receive a detailed survey of premises, recommendations for improvements and an estimate of costs and savings.

Magda Styles, water efficiency manager at Southern Water, said: "We are very pleased to be able to offer this service, which is another step towards fully sustainable water use.

"It benefits businesses while ensuring the environment benefits too."
