Water is a valuable and finite
resource. It is also one of your business costs.
By effectively managing water in your business
you will be doing more than simply saving money.
Act
today, for tomorrow. Use the checklist below:
General
actions:
where's your pipe?
Survey your water
pipes from the point where they enter the building
to the point where they leave your property and
record the location of drains, drain covers, valves
and any other inline equipment. Leaks, dripping
taps and overflows may come to light during the
pipe survey. Mending these will immediately reduce
your water bill.
Know where your
stop valves are and ensure that they work so that
you can turn off your water supply in an emergency.

The
Water Meter: have you been ignoring it?
Know where your
water meter(s) are located and how to read them.
Read your water
meter(s) regularly and keep records of water consumption
so that you know how much water your business is
using and how much it is costing you.
Investigate promptly
if your water consumption increases and you don't
know why, as this might indicate a leak which will
be wasting water. Click
here to see how you can check for leaks.
Check your standing
charge. If your business has made changes in its
water using activities since the original installation,
you may benefit from having a different size meter.
