Emergency planning: how tankered water can keep your business running

Water is essential for many businesses. Even a short disruption can cause delays or downtime. Having a plan in place helps you act quickly and stay in control.

Why planning for water problems is important

Many businesses rely on water to operate. Even a short disruption can cause delays, lost revenue or safety concerns. That’s why it’s important to have a business water supply backup plan in place. Being prepared can save time, reduce stress and keep your operations running smoothly.

What is tankered water?

Tankered water is clean, drinkable water delivered by road in large tankers. It’s used when your usual water supply is unavailable. This water can be used for drinking, cleaning, production or other essential services.

Tankered water is useful in situations like:

• Burst or damaged pipes
• Planned maintenance requiring water shut-off, and
• New sites without a mains connection.

This service is part of commercial water contingency planning and offers one of the most flexible temporary water solutions for companies.

How we helped during COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we supported the rapid setup of the NHS Louisa Jordan Hospital by developing a detailed emergency water plan. This included preparing for the delivery of tankered water if required. The plan ensured the hospital was ready to maintain water supply in the event of an emergency. It is a strong example of how proactive planning provided reassurance and operational resilience. Read our case study here.
