Water Solutions
Uncover hidden savings and see your costs fall.
Our Water Solutions service will look in detail at your current water usage and costs, finding ways to improve your water efficiency.
This will ensure you reduce wastage (fix leaks, correct overcharges) before you go to tender so you only pay for what you consume. We can also provide tools to visualise and gain insight into your water consumption and help you with ongoing management of your water use.
Four steps to get your water savings flowing
- Review – We’ll investigate your current charges and highlight opportunities to reduce wastage and costs.
- Audit – A detailed look at your water usage to realise future savings, minimise waste and improve efficiency.
- Procure – Lower your bills and improve your service via a competitive tender to secure a contract that suits your needs.
- Manage – We’ll keep checking your bills, manage supplier queries and identify opportunities to improve.
We have a proven track record
Large supermarket chain
We won a Green Apple Environment Award in 2015 helping a large supermarket chain reduce their water wastage.
First we identified and analysed their consumption across their estate with Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) technology. The AMR data highlighted which sites we should investigate. Subsequently, we carried out water audits at locations with concerning or unidentified rises in water use.
We lowered their overall use by 50,000m3 a year – that’s enough water to supply over 300 households for 12 months.
High street retailer
We achieved significant savings for a well-known high street retailer through our water procurement and efficiency services. With over 3,500 sites, 400 of which are based in Scotland, our Water team knew they could help the retailer reap the rewards of switching water supplier. Simply by changing supplier we were able to provide our client with the contract features they required and savings of £145,000 per annum. In addition, we carried out water audits and efficiency exercises to secure further savings of £55,000.
Textile recycling company
Our retrospective bill checking service found savings of over £36,700 for a large textile recycling company that had been paying duplicate surface water drainage charges for over four years. As well as the large rebate, ongoing this company now has an extra £8,976 a year back in their pocket.
