OBJECTIVES OF HOUSING ASSOCIATION 2

This player is one of two Housing Associations. Housing associations must maintain the sanitary water systems in the houses they own. These systems are responsible for providing water to the occupants of the houses. There are two different types of water system that housing associations can buy from manufacturers: normal or water saving.

Water systems must be bought to replace old systems that after a specific number of years, breakdown.
