Water is quite different to many of our other utilities. It is the only one which we not only pay for, but also watch it go down the drain, and then get charged again!

It is commonly thought that there are not good savings to be made from our water bills. Yet, surprisingly, this is a very good starting point for many businesses. Many people are not aware that you can have your own borehole installed and extract up to 20 cubic meters of water a day free of charge. If a license is then applied for, you could extract all your property’s requirements for a one-off license fee (which is far cheaper than most people imagine).

Surface water drainage can be another area which can provide simple ongoing savings. Uniq Solutions can carry out site surveys to find out if you are being overcharged; and get your water bills reduced.

Ensuring the toilet cisterns in a hotel are using the correct volume of water could be the most simple of wins. A saving of one litre per room, per day, for the year, could make a huge saving by the end of the year.

Reducing the flow from showers and taps in the property offers a very simple saving opportunity. Not only can you reduce your water consumption, but, in turn, you decrease the volume of water you are heating; further reducing your costs. Whatever cost saving procedures are employed, it is paramount that guest satisfaction is maintained. There are many suppliers with proven products to suit your situation, which allow savings whilst improving your guests’ experience.
