Save Water. Save Energy. Save Money.
It’s as simple as that. We do this everyday at Etihad Stadium and you can do it too. Saving water ultimately saves energy and money for both you and your community.
Step 1: LOW FLOW FIXTURES
Installing low-flow showerheads and toilets can reduce water use by 40 percent and 20 percent, respectively. These simple switches can help you save hundreds of gallons of water each month. We use both at Etihad stadium and the City Football Academy and have seen impressive results.
Step 2: FIX LEAKS
Leaky taps and pipes can waste up to 75 litres of water each day. Regularly check for leaks and repair them promptly to save water and money. Our maintenance team at Etihad Stadium is constantly on the lookout for leaks.
Step 3: RAINWATER REUSE
Manchester is known for its rain, and we use it to our advantage. Collecting rainwater is an easy way to save water and money. You can use the rainwater to water your plants, wash your car, or even flush your toilet. Etihad Stadium and our City Football Academy pitches are primarily watered through an advanced rainwater capture and reuse system.
46% of people believe their household uses 20 litres of water day, but it’s actually almost 142 litres per person.
Conclusion
Every action adds up to meaningful impact. A lot of the actions are simple but powerful when we work as a team. Take action today and let’s protect the planet and the game we love. Contact me through the ‘Contact Us’ form if you have any questions at all.
