Boreholes
Boreholes are used in agriculture, industry, construction and for domestic use. Most water companies use them for their water supply.
The benefits include self-sufficiency and a significantly reduced or non-existent water bill.
Up to 20,000 litres can be extracted 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 then used 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 disrupted, with a pump used to extract the water so it can be stored in tanks until it is required.
This offers our customers sustainability, a significant reduction in their water bills and a core part of their contingency planning.
