An organisation has seen a 42.5% water saving, on average daily use at a location, in a data enhancement and 17-site water audit and water efficiency programme with Water Plus.
The close customer work’s also seen other benefits for the multi-site – and the hundreds of thousands of people that use its locations each year.
The challenge
With a vast portfolio of sites across various counties, the multi-site needed an experienced and results-driven water partner to help reduce risks across their operation, while finding additional efficiency opportunities.
The organisation – one of the largest in its sector - also had water-saving targets to meet, as part of its sustainability goals.
The Solution
Water Plus designed a tailored approach, analysing the daily water data and delivering water audits at 17 locations to identify sites where the biggest impact and progress on the sustainability target could be made.
The customer partnership has also seen 17 data loggers installed to help track and monitor water use.
One data logger spotted 8,000 litres (8m3) an hour of extra water use at a location, prompting site checks. This could have cost more than £210,000 in wholesaler charges, for estimated water use in 12 months, and generate 24.7 tonnes of CO2e in a year, without action.
The multi-site customer also took up a leak detection visit, through Water Plus, to help identify the area of the increased water use - with additional action seeing the extra use drop from 8,000 litres an hour to around 400 litres an hour, at night, in 2026.
A Water Plus Key Account Manager also worked closely with the customer to develop the activity that would help their goals and reduce risks for the organisation.
