Why switch your water contract?
Many businesses pay 10–40% more on default tariffs. Switching to a tailored plan cuts waste and locks in better terms.
- Independent, market-led comparisons
- Clear terms for potable, wastewater & standing charges
- Flexible options for multi-site and seasonal demand
- Dedicated account manager for ongoing support
Up to 20% savings are common
By reviewing usage, negotiating wastewater components and bundling services, we regularly reduce costs for SMEs and multi-site operators.
What drives business water costs?
- Tariffs & supplier margins vary by region and service.
- Metered usage — potable water in vs. wastewater out.
- Standing charges — fixed daily service/network costs.
- Trade effluent/sewerage — strength and volume can alter charges.
- Seasonality & peaks — the right structure reduces overspend.
- Out-of-contract status — defaults are typically the most expensive.
50% of businesses overpay on default rates
