Buckinghamshire Council is pleased to announce that its Energy Doctor scheme is now able to offer new water-saving devices to help low-income households save money on their water and energy bills.

- aerating shower heads
- 4-minute shower timers
- cistern water displacement bags for use in non-dual flush toilets
