How It Works

• Use data collected to project calculate project feasibility and paybacks
• Install standard or web based smart sub-metering to verify projects
• Recommend / supply best products to suit individual or group site needs
• Installation of products
• Implement required PPM site visits
• Servicing and repairs
• Reactive maintenance and support
• Management of data and alert from smart systems

Water Bill Data Analysis – Office Based

• Extract information from water bills via desk top exercise
• Analyse historical billing for errors and overcharges breaking out consumption and fixed cost data. Historic billing will be analysed for errors and rebates applied for
• Profile site usage against average usage to estimate potential issues on site
• Inspect tariffs and fixed charges for potential savings
• Analyse staffing levels and details of water usage other than domestic. A data catch sheet will be provided
• Verify the water company / retailer’s charges
• Inspect the water company sewer records, consider solutions for natural drainage in readiness for site visit
• Compile report to submit for each site either individually or collectively with findings taken from above activities
• Quantifying of current water charges for clients wishing to consider a Self- Supply option
• Preparation of tenders for clients wishing to obtain quotations from water retailers
• Scrutiny of tender results, recommendations, and future on-going support.

• Record meter/s usage, short and long term
• Identify meter/s for a pulsed outlet for data logger fit to enable automatic meter reading (AMR)
• Meter/s size and serial number check against water company annual charges
• Profile meter/s against historic reads from bills
• Identify annual cost savings for downsize of meter/s if site can cope with reduced maximum demand
• Consumption auditing and reporting with improvement recommendations
• Inspect all water outlets throughout the building
• Identify reduction of tap flows and recommend replacement of taps where necessary
• Best practice advice to kitchen staff, if applicable
• Identify if urinal cisterns are controlled
• Inspect WCs for dual flush and overflows
• Identify and inspect tanks for overflow and condition
• Identify and inspect water softeners, advice on installation
• Identify if the water supply after the meter feeds other properties
• Identify non-returns for waste allowances including evaporative loss
• Identify staff / operator or appliance inefficiencies
• Check site drainage plans and compare with water company charges for potential surface water drainage savings
• Offer advice on site containment of contamination potential
• Isolate valves and observe meter volume reaction
• Pinpoint specific problem areas
• Understand leakage history of the site
• Listen for leakage noise using sensitive ground microphones
• Quantify leak volume and calculate annual cost to set budgets for leak/find/fix work
• Offer advice on sub-metering to better understand consumption in specific areas of a site
• Advice on non-return to sewer allowances
• Identify and inspect fire main & hydrants
• Check fire water separation from water supply
• Test dry risers and record pressures
• Hydrants - check service and maintenance records and testing regime
• Highlight concerns during water audit and follow up in report
• Identify potential areas to install sub-meters and/or valves, to gain better control of water usage
• Identify potential for Grey Water / Rain Water Harvesting following up with feasibility study
• Check potential for installing a bore hole
• Check potential savings by moving from a standard waste rate to a trade effluent charge
• Inspect trade effluent charges and advise on reductions
• Advise on improving the TE sampling areas
• Advise on insulation to protect against frost or to prevent the transfer or loss of heat
• Advise on existing interceptors and their maintenance
• Advise on Disaster Management
• Take samples of potable or ground water and send for detailed laboratory analysis
• Offer advice on the importance of completing risk assessment to ensure the site is water quality compliant
