This includes pipework installations, storage tanks, sewers, interceptors, conservation and recycling equipment. As the owner of one of the largest above and below ground pipe networks in the UK, Yorkshire Water understands the need for accurate information. We can carry out a detailed utility survey of your business and ensure that you have an accurate record of your infrastructure, providing information for future leak location or site expansion. To understand the flow of water around a network, it is essential to measure the volume in each demand zone. If leaks occur, zonal metering will record the increased flow and indicate the location of the leak.
Most businesses have bulk meters which record total flow onto the site.
However, little or no information about the areas of demand is available. Here, sub-metering provides a solution, allocating overheads and identifying problems in process or pipework. In the last four years, working closely with business customers, we have carried out over 9000 leakage surveys and reduced consumption by over 35 million litres a day. Through business forums and pilot studies with individual companies, local authorities and industry groups, we have drawn up best practice guides to help minimise waste, reduce consumption and achieve significant cost savings. Yorkshire Water can help you conserve water through a variety of activities tailored to suit your business needs.
