Water bills can be overlooked as gas and electricity can often be highlighted by finance managers as their biggest business utility spend and be more of a priority with regard to money saving.
The media is full of news regarding energy suppliers such as British Gas, Npower who seem to be attracting all the wrong headlines at the moment
Very little news regarding water!
Most organisations will be aware of how they can look at save money and reduce their business energy usage by, either switching or implementing energy management systems which look at monitoring the usage and keeping their energy usage under control.
So why is water consumption not considered a big priority compared to the spending on Gas and Electricity?
Is the main reason that there are not the same options available at the moment to choose your own water supplier?
A solution which is available and giving results for manufacturing businesses throughout the United Kingdom is to engage the services of a water audit.
We know that 50% of all manufacturing businesses for example, in the United Kingdom are on the incorrect tariffs and are wasting money on their water consumption
How can a water audit help identify current savings and retrospective cost recovery savings within water bills?
The water audit will identify and analyse (see below)
After the audit has been completed or, during the process, an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) will be implemented to help discover errors in water billing.
An AMR system engagement will help keep a closer eye on your water usage and spot any problems and help a user whether SME or a larger organisation be in control of their water consumption.
An Automated Meter Reading will track water consumption every 15 minutes and will provide data on the water which your site or sites use.
Lastly and possibly most importantly you may be asking, the water audit sounds very good !!!! AMR seems a sensible approach BUT how much is it all going to cost?
Great News the “water audit is FREE”
The no-obligation water audit will identify any possible issues, but if there aren’t any you won’t get charged a penny as the fees are totally self-financed from any savings and refunds that are achieved for you.
You won’t have to do anything either, as the examination of your invoices, the surveying of your sites and any liaising with your water supplier to implement any changes and agree to any refunds that you may be entitled to be all done for you which may help go towards the implementation of an AMR service.
