Alconbury Weald Water Savers launches at VE Day celebrations

12.05.2025

Residents of Alconbury Weald got a refreshing surprise at this weekend’s VE Day celebrations: the launch of a brand-new campaign designed to help them save water, energy and money - all through a few simple changes to everyday routines.

Alconbury Weald Water Savers is part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability at Alconbury Weald. It’s all about helping residents cut their living costs while also doing something good for the planet. Whether it’s taking shorter showers, switching to eco settings on your appliances, or using a washing-up bowl - every small step adds up.

And with our simple online calculator, it’s now even easier to see just how much water, energy and money you could save.

Hot water is something we all rely on, often without thinking - but heating it uses a surprising amount of energy. From doing the laundry and taking a shower, to washing the dishes, the more hot water we use, the more we pay to heat it. That’s not just costing us water - it’s costing us money too.

The Water Savers calculator invites residents to choose up to three small behaviour changes. In just a few clicks, it shows how much water, energy and money they could save each month. Other local communities around the UK have taken part in water-saving initiatives like this with fantastic results - and now it’s Alconbury Weald’s turn to show how small actions can lead to big impact.

The campaign launched at the community’s VE Day event, where the sun was shining and the community spirit was in full swing. The Alconbury Weald Water Savers team were on hand with water-saving tips to help bring the campaign to life. Families and neighbours stopped by to chat, test the calculator, sign up to the campaign and pick up helpful hints on how to save water and money at home.

This campaign is part of a wider effort to support sustainability at Alconbury Weald - helping residents make greener, more cost-effective choices without compromising on comfort or convenience. And the best part? It’s not about making big sacrifices. It’s about doing what works for your household, starting with just one change.

Whether you’ve just moved in or have been here for a while, now’s the time to get involved. Try the calculator, share it with your neighbours, and see how much you could save, on your household bills, and for the planet.
