Not a Drop to Waste

We want to stop water wastage, but we can’t do it alone. Up to 25% of business water use could be from undetected leaks, so we need you to act now, spot the leak and help save water.

Not a drop to waste

We might be living on the blue planet but only around 1% of the earth’s water is available for us to use. So why are we wasting 3 billion litres of it every day? If we don’t act now, in just 20 to 30 years there won’t be enough water to go around. Business growth could be limited, and water use restricted, so don’t wait any longer.

Businesses use around a third of all the water supplied in the UK so we need you do what you can. It’ll save you money too. Whether it’s a dripping tap, a leaky loo or a burst pipe, wherever the waste happens, you’re paying for what you use.

Make a pledge, make a difference

We’re asking our customers to get involved with our latest water-saving initiative.

We’re encouraging businesses to choose one of our five achievable pledges and make a commitment to help protect the environment and use water more sustainably. There’s chance to win an Automatic Meter Reader for one of your sites too!

What can you do to minimise waste?

Running out of water doesn’t really bear thinking about, which is why we’re counting on businesses like yours to make a change now. We aren’t asking you to use less, reconsider your day-to-day operations or even upgrade your equipment, all you need to do is watch out for water waste and help stop leaks.

How can you check for leaks?

Some are easier to spot than others, and many can often go unnoticed over time, increasing your chances of a burst pipe. You don’t always need specialist help to find a leak, the easiest thing you can do is follow our step-by-step leak and flow test guide.

Take control with data collection

Checking your water meter and submitting meter reads isn’t always top of your priorities, as meters can often be in hard-to-reach places.

With an Automatic Meter Reader, it'll do the hard work for you by sending regular data, helping you gain a better understanding of how you’re using water. You’ll also get more accurate bills and have the ability to set alerts if your water usage spikes above your usual consumption, alerting you to issues such as leaks.

Take a deeper look with a Water Efficiency Audit
