Firms have chance for free water audit

The audit will scrutinise all areas of water use plus suggest ways to reduce consumption.

The detailed audit by Yorkshire Water’s experts will give a breakdown of water use and includes an audit report making recommendations for improvements such as estimated investment, water savings and return on investment periods.

The audit also includes six months of free flow monitoring to help identify any ongoing water use problems. The audit usually costs from £500, and includes £500 towards implementing identified solutions.

Kevin Barefoot, business services manager at Yorkshire Water, said: “Yorkshire Water is working hard to manage and balance water resources and doesn’t anticipate any restrictions in water supply this summer.

“However, it’s important that we continue to use water wisely. For businesses this can also mean significant money savings. A few small changes can make a real difference. Our detailed water audits give you detailed information about not only the clean water you use, but the waste water you generate.”

The audit service is part of Yorkshire Water’s plan to reduce use by its customers.
