South East Water customers have been praised for becoming more water wise.
Demand for meters soared during last year's drought in Sussex and Kent, with the company fitting more than 14,000 - double the amount in 2005.
The firm also sold more than 5,000 water butts to store rainfall and 12,000 cistern devices - which save a litre of water with every flush.
