Save water, save money

Water savings on tap

Businesses naturally focus on electricity and gas costs, but managing how you buy, use and account for your water is just as important. Our water experts have generated millions of pounds in savings through comprehensive procurement, efficiency and monitoring services.  

Buying water

Water is often referred to as the forgotten utility. Only a small percentage of eligible companies have chosen a water retailer or set up as a self-supplier since the 2017 water market deregulation. 

For organisations with geographically diverse portfolios, securing a retail contract allows you to deal with just one supplier, saving time and money.

Eligible businesses may also set up as a self-supplier and save money on water and wastewater by purchasing water and wastewater directly from the wholesaler. A self-supply licence means you take control of all customer-facing activities, including meter readings, query resolution and billing.
