What is covered in a water audit?
Water audits cover all the points in which your business comes into contact with water, from usage, to irrigation and everything in between. Volta Solutions over a comprehensive audit including these features;
Meter downsizing and redundant supply
Leak / waste detection, repair and refund
Supply & non-return to sewer refunds
Trade effluent, allowances and strengths (Mogden Formula)
Bespoke works - AMR Technology, Borehole, Rainwater Harvesting
Duplicate charging and incorrectly applied tariff structure
Water supply refunds and non-return to sewer allowances/rebates
Surface water & highway drainage charges (water rates)
Not all of these points are be applicable to every business, or if you already have a fair idea of what needs to looked at, be sure with a Water Audit, why wait for the water bill to bite?

Aside from using a water audit to reduce bills, what if you have already payed too much and long over due for a refund? Volta Energy worked with REXEL Electrical Supplies identify a non consumptive mischarge related to surface water charges and were able to negotiate a refund from the water company for over £60,000 on this service alone.
We also investigated a water leak REXEL were experiencing at one of their sites. Following our investigation we were able to initiate a successful claim against the water company for a further refund to the water leak.
Further claims were made related to a non connection at a site and we also initiated a project across all Scottish sites which resulted in many thousands of pounds being saved from reduced Rateable Value charges.
Taken as a whole we were able to negotiate and deliver to REXEL water savings in excess of £80,000 whilst of course ensuring a more transparent water tariff for future operations.
To date we have achieved rebates and savings for our clients in excess of £35 million
If you want to become one of the hundreds of companies we have helped get significant refunds and continue to save with reduced water bills, book your audit with Volta Energy and be on your way to saving thousands if not millions while becoming a more sustainably recognised organisation.
