Water Audit

We deploy a strategic, experienced and forensic approach to evaluate your historic invoices and produce a report of our findings. Our dedicated business water audit specialists have decades of experience and can often swiftly identify problems and explain anomalies. After we present our conclusions, we will utilise our knowledge and begin the process of applying to recoup your overpayments.

We begin by completing a comprehensive assessment that includes industry research, an on-site visit and an initial observation survey. As a result of assisting businesses for over a decade, we’ve developed a firm understanding of where problems often exist including specific business industries and locations. A forensic analysis will take into consideration the full range of water charges your business may be responsible for, including Fixed standing charges, connected services,  non return to sewer allowances, consumption and leakage, surface water charges trade effluent charges, highway drainage and tariff changes.

1 in 5 business water and invoice audits uncover errors which we can correct on your behalf.

Business Water Audit Case Studies

  • Our water specialists have extensive experience supporting businesses like yours with water auditing. We've listed some examples of organisations that have benefited from our advice.

Large Food Producer

£20,000 PA Saving
  • A pre-assessment survey was completed to understand the complex processes that were undertaken at the site. This involved water coming into the site from mains supply, boreholes and river extraction to foul, trade effluent and surface water leaving the site.
  • A full site survey was then undertaken to trace all surface water & foul water assets at the site. The survey involved experienced surveyors who completed acoustic sound testing and dye testing of the assets.
  • A successful surface water application was then submitted to the water retailer as we proved that the surface water from the site entered private infrastructure, which then entered the local brook close to the property.

Multi-Site Retail Store

£10,000 PA Saving
  • A full site survey was undertaken at the building and large car park area to ascertain where all surface water assets were located. After completing acoustic sound & dye testing it was proven that all surface water from the site entered the watercourse next to the property and not the water wholesaler assets.
  • A successful surface water application was then submitted to the water retailer as we proved that the surface water from the site entered the local watercourse.

Multi-Site Industrial Client

£15,000 PA Saving
  • Our water experts were approached by a large multi sited customer to complete a drainage survey at their property as they didn’t know where the surface water discharged to.
  • A full site survey was undertaken on the building & large hardstanding areas where it was proven that all surface water discharged into a balancing pond located at the site. This was proven using a variety of methods including acoustic sound testing & dye testing.
  • The pond was then traced via an overflow to a local watercourse, which eventually entered a river downstream. None of the surface water at the site entered the water wholesaler assets.
  • We then submitted a successful surface water application to the water retailer as we proved that the surface water from the site entered a balancing pond and then overflowed into a local watercourse.

Large School/Academy

£10,000 PA Saving
  • A full site survey was undertaken on the building & large hardstanding areas where it was proven that all the surface water discharged into a rainwater harvesting system. Rainwater harvesting should be treated and billed differently to surface water if measured and monitored regularly.
  • It is always recommended to audit schools & academies for surface water as they have a large footprint, which is used to calculate the surface water banded charge.
  • A successful tariff application was then submitted to the water retailer as we proved the surface water entered a rainwater harvesting system.

When we moved into our new offices a couple of years ago Eyebright took over the process of arranging all our utilities including phone system, broadband, water, electricity etc. As is the norm with utility companies we got messed about with incorrect billings and other issues but Eyebright jumped on it and rectified all the issues promptly. Ill never go direct again!!
