No two sites are the same. Each is likely to use its water slightly differently, so it’s vital to get the facts and figures straight for each.

Even if you’ve got two identical sites, they’ll use their water differently. Ken in Dundee might take pride in watering all the office plants twice a day, whereas Susan in Aberdeen might be a ten-cups-a-day tea-drinker. If water’s the backbone of your business, the differences are likely to be even greater. Either way, it’s vital to get to the bottom of the facts and figures, or work out which sites need a bit of a nudge in the right direction to increase their water efficiency.

'As a result of working with Business Stream we have significantly cut our water costs by benchmarking our major stations and depots and proactively investigating and rectifying issues on sites with higher than expected consumption.' Read the case study in full for more details.

Business Stream has all kinds of clever ways of making your sites’ precise water usage as clear as the water itself.

Water audits

Why not let one of our water experts visit one of your sites and perform a survey to check your pipework? We do charge for this, but we hope you’ll agree that it’s worth every penny. When it comes to spotting opportunities to save water (and, of course, money), they really are the gurus.

Benchmarking

We can also tell you how your water usage stacks up against other companies in your sector – whether you’re top of the class, or in need of a few extra lessons. If you’ve got more than one site, we can even tell you how your different sites measure up against each other – making it easier to see where to concentrate your efforts.

Businesses are responsible for a third of the UK’s water usage every year, so it’s vital that we all play our part in reducing the grand total.
