At SMART FLOW, we’re dedicated to saving water and ensuring our clients never overpay for what they consume. Here’s how we helped a commercial property owner in Leicester, UK, avoid water overcharges and unnecessary repair costs.
This success story comes from one of our clients in Leicester, UK, where we installed our SMART FLOW monitoring devices in their commercial building. Our Client had received extremely high water bills, and the utility company flagged water wastage of 1,800 liters per hour. They even issued a Notice of Intention to Carry Out Repair Work under Section 75(9) of the Water Industry Act 1991.
Despite our monitoring devices indicating normal water consumption and no leaks, the utility company was planning extensive digging works to investigate the supposed issue, potentially resulting in high costs for our client. If left unresolved, the estimated yearly cost of this wastage would have been over £40,000.
💧 What SMART FLOW Do?
We stepped in with accurate, real-time data, demonstrating that there was no issue on the client’s side. By providing actionable insights, we worked closely with the client and utility company to resolve the issue. The investigation traced the problem to the adjacent building’s above-ground system. An issue that would have gone unnoticed without our precise monitoring technology.
💡 The Result?
Thanks to our insights and data, we not only saved our client from paying for unnecessary repairs and a substantial water bill, but we also helped the utility company avoid extensive and costly digging works. It’s a win-win!
- Over £40,000 saved in annual water wastage costs.
- Avoided unnecessary repair works and utility overcharges.
