Marine Holiday Park – Waste Water Reduction

H20 were approached by the owner of a large holiday and leisure park in Rhyl, having audited  the water and waste water bills, H2o concluded a substantial water loss was occurring some 48,000m3 with a unaccounted money loss of £125,000 per annum.

Action taken:

H2o downloaded visual flow – profiles from a data logger fitted to the water companies main water meter feeding the site, the continual base load at 4 a.m. was 5.5m3 per hour.  H2o leak detection experts were dispatched to site in order to carry out extensive water leak detection  to above and below ground water services.  Having spent many days on site, using Aqua Phones and LNC (leak noise correlation) kit, the water leak detection team put together a schedule identifying several underground water leaks, repairs were costed and approved by the client.

H20 then dispatched leakage repair crews to site, excavated and repaired the leaking pipework underground, most of the water leaks were due to the use of incorrect fittings installed underground and broken joints.

Upon completion, over several months further water leak detection and repairs were completed, resulting in annual savings of £120,000 per annum.

Further historical auditing of water bills was undertaken by H20 auditors, identifying further annual savings of £10,000 per annum and after over 1 year of negotiations with the water company, H20 produced refunds of £75,000.

A spokesman for H2o Graham Mann, who is a Senior Partner of the firm said “This is another fine example of putting our 25 years experience to good use, producing fantastic year on year savings, negotiating substantial refunds and saving over 9 million gallons of drinking water going to waste in leakage, that is enough water for nearly 450 average families over 1 year”.
