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.
Peace of mind with a water contingency plan
Whether it’s part of your production process or for everyday use, all businesses rely on water, so if there’s an interruption to your supply it can be a big problem.
As temperatures drop, frozen pipes and bursts become more likely. Although wholesalers work hard to keep water running during the winter months, if an interruption happens, it’s usually your responsibility to find an alternative water supply.
A contingency plan takes away unnecessary stress and will make sure you can keep your business running.
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.

How we can help
We've a range of services available to help businesses of all sizes understand where you use water, take control of your consumption and find and fix leaks. For more information or a quote for any of these services, please complete our form.
Leakage Find and Fix Service
If you’ve done a Leak and Flow test and it’s shown you’ve got an external underground leak, we can support you with our Leakage Find and Fix service.
We’ll visit your business premises and use our specialist equipment to find the leak. We’ll then give tailored recommendations on how it can be repaired as quickly as possible, with minimal disruption to your daily activities.
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
With a Water Efficiency Audit we’ll take a look at why your business might be experiencing higher water usage.
We’ll look for leaks, faults and older, worn equipment that would benefit from being upgraded. We'll then create a detailed report with recommendations on how to make it more water efficient, saving you water and money.
