Water management Solutions

Old pipes, in poor condition can cause problems like flooding, loss of water pressure and an increased wastewater bill, as this is based on 95% of your water usage.

We can offer you a service which includes a leak survey, one day's leak detection and reinstatement.

Many customers are unaware that their high water bills could be as a result of a long-standing leaks.  Their water pressure could be low, they could have prolonged wet areas in driveways, grass or internal walls.

By logging regular readings every 15 minutes you are able to build an understanding of how your water is being used and when. This will allow you to easily identify potential leaks on your network which may result in a large water bill.

If a leak is found, you could be eligible to a leak allowance from your wholesaler, to cover the cost of your lost water. (Terms and conditions apply). 

Boreholes

Boreholes are used in agriculture, industry, construction and for domestic use. Most water companies use them for water supply.

The benefits include self-sufficiency and a significantly reduced or non-existent water bill.
 
Up to 20,000 litres can be abstracted a day without a licence, and this can contribute to a saving of around £14,000 p.a. with a return on the original investment within 1 or 2 years.  

 

Rainwater Harvesting and Water Reuse

This involves the collection and distribution of rainwater for toilet flushing, irrigation and vehicle washing. Grey water initiatives take water from baths, wash basins, washing machines and dishwashers and use for toilet flushing.

Reinstatement of Old Wells and Springs

We have been working with customers to help them reinstate old wells or springs, bringing them back into use.

This means that thousands of extra litres of water will be available when supplies are interrupted, with a pump used to extract the water so it can be stored in tanks until it is required.

This offers them sustainability, a significant reduction in their water bills and a core part of their contingency planning.

 

Everyone can reduce their water consumption by simple changes:

• Locate and repair leaks
• Renew float valves in tanks/cisterns
• Toilets – flush volume displacement
• Urinals – flush controls
• Basins – flow reduction/automatic taps
• Showers – nozzle design
• Steam production – condensate return
• Washing processes – looking at flow reduction/recycle/reuse
• Water using processes/equipment
• The use of non-potable water for irrigation.
