Water Cost Reduction

Savings & Refunds: £500,000.00

Water Cost Reduction for Hammersmith & Fulham Council

Since 2003, Hammersmith & Fulham Council have employed the expert services of H²0 Building Services, working with the Energy Manager and Environment Department substantial savings and refunds have been achieved, Graham Mann the Senior Partner at H²0 said, We recently completed a project appraisal at the request of the Council, upon reviewing the savings and refunds achieved, we were delighted to report £500,000 worth of savings and refunds, the various works consisted of, an initial water audit, then actual site surveys which generate reports containing recommendations for savings, specification of work to achieve savings, cost to complete and pay-back. We have some impressive examples:

Tom Williams House – Residential Flats

The water consumption appeared high, we carried out a flow rate check on the water meter and concluded there was a leak somewhere on the supplies underground, H²0 carried out water leak detection and repair to the leaks identified and savings of £53,000.00 were achieved

Linford Christie Stadium

A water audit was carried out on historical bills, H²0 concluded, taking into consideration facilities on site, the costs far exceeded the benchmark figure, a survey was carried out and two water leaks were traced and repaired, resulting in an actual saving of £10,000.00

The Bishops Park

This is the largest, most significant result on the estate, for over 6 years the council received bills from Thames Water of around £35,000 per year, H²0 carried out a water audit going back some 6 years and discovered the bills were mostly estimated, a site survey was completed, the result was the water meter dial had not moved in over 6 years, the water supply was turned off, H²0 submitted a claim for a refund of overpaid charges, resulting in a refund in excess of £150,000.00 and an annual saving of £35,00.00

Total Refunds Achieved (to-date): £500,000.00.
