A new incentive programme is helping businesses across the county cut water use and costs at the same time.
Southern Water has launched the 'You Save, We’ll Pay' scheme to encourage businesses in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to reduce their water usage by 10 per cent between Friday, August 1 and Sunday, November 30.
If they hit the target, they will receive a credit worth 10 per cent of their 2024/25 wholesale water charges.

Tim McMahon, managing director for water at Southern Water, said: "We know that many businesses in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are keen to play their part in the wider collective effort to reduce water use this summer, to make sure taps keep running and we protect our precious chalk streams.
"The 'You Save, We’ll Pay' scheme means they can do just that – and save money in the process.
"The more water we can save now, the less likely it will be that we have to bring in further, more disruptive, restrictions later in the summer.
"We would like to thank everyone for playing their part."
The scheme was first introduced in 2022 and helped save eight million litres of water in three months.
A hosepipe ban is currently in place for households following one of the driest springs on record.
