Business Stream helped a hospital get water wise – turning a risky leak into a substantial saving.

Speedy remedy for hospital

NHS Lothian asked us to investigate water consumption at its Royal Victoria Hospital.

Using water benchmarking techniques and automated meter reading, our experts realised the hospital’s water use was excessive. We tracked down the cause: a hidden burst pipe which might potentially have disrupted hospital services.

Thanks to our leak repair team, the hospital saved £130,000 in annual water and waste water charges. Meanwhile the automated meter readings allow the hospital to react swiftly to any unusual water consumption patterns.
