Be prepared in a water emergency
From time-to-time losses of supply, either due to issues on the public or your own private networks, are inevitable. Wave’s range of alternative water supplies and contingency planning services give you the means to effectively plan for, and respond to, supply interruptions when, or if, they do occur.
Contingency Planning Service
Putting a contingency plan in place allows you to not only highlight possible risks at your site but also help build resilience and mitigate any potential costs that may be caused by an unforeseen interruption to your water supply. To collect the information required, our partners, Water Direct, will carry out a site assessment and work with you to create a tailor-made contingency plan for your business.
Site assessment
The assessment will review your site’s current contingency arrangements for water, including a review of emergency plans (a statutory requirement for some sites). You’ll also receive practical recommendations for how and where emergency water supplies (tankers and/or bottled water) can be procured and delivered to your site, avoiding issues like cross contamination.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing your business has a tailored contingency plan, stored with our partners and available 24 hours a day.
Your final contingency plan will consist of:- Receiving contingency planning advice and information.
- Receiving emergency signage.
- Receiving emergency cards.
- Reasonable endeavours level response.
- Site specific risk assessment.
- A written contingency plan, available 24/7, to ensure smooth delivery.
- Advice on engineering works, system management and mitigation of supply interruption.
- Trading account with Water Direct (subject to status).
Your business’ water contingency plan expires every year so to keep it up to date, you’ll need to renew it annually. This comes at an additional cost so speak to our team to find out more.
