The Southern Water Business Partnership Fund has distributed five grants, amounting to over £90,000, to businesses throughout the Southeast for their innovative water conservation proposals.
These initiatives have the potential to save upwards of 7.3 million litres of water each year.
The Splash Point Leisure Centre in Worthing plans to use its £40,000 grant to recycle swimming pool water through an industrial filter.
Mark Byerley, Operations Director at South Downs Leisure said: “Sustainability is a key strategic objective for South Downs Leisure and water consumption is key part of this strategy. We have been looking at several ways we are able to reduce water usage and Southern Water have been great in supporting this. The audit’s carried out highlighted areas that we can improve upon and have a real impact.”
