Water-Saving Audits
As part of our commitment to reducing business water consumption by 9% by 2037, we're offering free Water-Saving Audits to schools and businesses across our region.
Reduce your water footprint for free
Since April 2024, these audits have helped schools and businesses save water and money off their bills. A visit by one of our water-saving experts can identify leaks and ways to save water, taking into account your industry and line of work.
Our audits will generally include fixing leaky loos, taps, showers etc. and/or fitting water-efficient devices as well as recommending other water efficiency improvements such as rainwater harvesting.
The audit and the fixes, are free and we’ve partnered with the charity Groundwork to deliver this initiative.
If we supply water to your school or business, you can apply for this free service.
To apply please email SouthernWaterNHH@groundwork.org.uk or call 0808 1968711.
