Managing Your Most Important Resource – Water.
Reaching for increased levels of efficiency is a perpetual process for all businesses. The use and management of all resources in processes are continuously looked at, assessed and changed as we find better ways to increase productivity whilst reducing costs. We say all resources, but in our experience there is one key resource which tends to be taken for granted, or assumed to be a constant which cannot be changed. This one that gets overlooked is water.
As we all know, water is an essential part of all life and, as a consequence, is something we take as a given as always being free flowing. Whilst our water does flow freely through the networks in the UK, it’s important to remember that it does come at a cost. Businesses which take it as being the case that the cost of water – the amount billed for by the providers – cannot be managed or challenged are making an incorrect assumption.
We’re hesitant to say that businesses which overlook managing their water account are making a mistake. It’s been the case that we’ve always been led to believe that water was of a low cost, and that correct billing was a given. Time and again our services have shown that this is not the case. Billing mistakes are made with some frequency, with businesses paying for either water they did not use or, in the case of leaks in the network, did not have access to.
Our water management services provide you with the complete solution to reducing and controlling how much you pay for this resource. We cover all elements of your water use, with our work ranging from the reconciliation and correction of previous bills through to the constant monitoring of your usage going forward. Comprehensive records are also kept, giving you a valuable documentation database for future reference.
The management we provide ensure that you are paying the correct amount for the water you have used – something which stops your business from paying more than it has to. This can offer fantastic value, especially in the long term.
