happy with the limited supply, and individual attachments can be replaced. Our water companies are regulated to provide a minimum level of water,
but in many areas due to network structure and gravity fed systems supply is much greater. So, run a hose for five minutes at the bottom of the hill, and your lawn will be greener than the gardener that does the same at the top. Tese ‘time controlled’ uses, e.g. teeth cleaning, taking a shower, running a tap to rinse dishes could be ‘standardised down’ if all households received the same acceptable, ‘standardised’ supply.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WATER PROVIDERS Water companies are keen to work with developers and housing associations to provide low consumption options, and in some cases can provide discounted infrastructure charges for new developments demonstrating significant water conservation interventions.

Illuminating Springhills
Luceco has recently supplied interior and exterior amenity lighting to Springhills Independent Living Scheme at Outwood, provided by Wakefi eld and District Housing Limited. Springhills is a purpose built retirement development of 33 fl ats that has recently enjoyed a refurbishment and the lighting played a key part in creating a safe and comfortable environment. Atlas circular bulkhead fi ttings were used throughout the interior with the perimeter of the building lit with Atlas with metal eyelid cover decors. Standard, emergency, and integral microwave sensor versions were used to reduce energy consumption in circulation areas. With the corridor function selected, the sensor adjusts the light level to 10% of the normal level when the space is unoccupied creating a safe and secure yet well-lit environment with cost eff ectiveness and environmental issues in mind. LuxPanel luminaires were also installed, in particular LuxPanel Circular which is available in 120, 150, 180, and 240 mm diameter options with high performance PMMA light guide. LuxPanel Circular is designed to be recessed mounted in exposed grid or plasterboard ceilings and secured with springs. T e fi ttings were used in communal areas and corridors along with Tempest emergency downlighters with area optic, providing 3 hours non maintained emergency lighting which is an essential element to the lighting of a communal space.
