Answer a few quick questions about your workplace and our Savings Spotter Guide can show you where you could save water and money.
Why save water?
Water is a precious resource. There's a financial and environmental cost to every drop we use. From damaging fragile ecosystems with excessive extraction, to the CO2 released as part of the treatment and transportation, it's important to understand the impact we're having.
Save money
Over 90% of your bill is the cost of the water you use. When you save water you save money too.
Protect ecosystems
Using less water means more stays at the natural source, so there's less strain on local ecoystems.

Reduce emissions
Getting water to your premises and beyond uses energy. Using less water means less CO2 is released, so you could reduce the size of your business's carbon footprint.
