Save Water, Save Energy: Drive more decarbonisation and cost efficiencies
Powerful partnerships are unlocking bigger results and greater potential for public sector sites - with hundreds cutting running costs and carbon emissions, by finding better approaches with water.
Enhanced data is delivering more insight and efficiencies, through data loggers on water meters and an online analysis portal, Water Plus can provide. It issues alerts around water use and is accessible whenever needed.
We love to share smarter ways to save water and boost efficiencies, to make managing water easy.
Results, for the public sector in partnerships with Water Plus, have included:
- Increasing water stewardship uptake by bigger public sector operations, in 2026 and a large-scale water-saving approach with 30 public sector sites making savings, in England and Scotland.
- Adding technology, meaning one of the UK's largest universities can track and analyse water use easily, to drive further efficiency and decarbonisation progress.
- Helping more than 800 primary and secondary schools to save water and cut thousands of pounds off weekly utility costs, in 2026. It's reduced water use by enough to fill more than 1.16 million teacups a day.
- Helping one of the UK's largest universities track and analyse use, to drive further efficiency and decarbonisation progress.
- 369 water saving devices installed for a council, with 255 efficiency devices reducing hot water use, to drop energy use. Water audits found taps using an average 15.75 litres a minute, which could be 75% lower, at one of the sites visited (reducing flow to 3.8 litres a minute).*
- 37% average water-saving identified, on estimated annual water use, in at-scale programme, involving public sector and other sites, with four schools seeing a 38% saving, on average daily water use.
Water may be in Scope 3, though it shouldn’t be looked at last, to drive action and engagement.

Carbon cutting actions underway
Our team's work – and additional actions in communities and helping nature – has been recognised with multiple awards for customer service excellence, water efficiency approaches and carbon reductions.
It’s led to Best Business Water Retailer awards - in 2026 and 2025 - as well as being finalists for two UK Customer Satisfaction Awards in 2026 for enhancements we're making for customers, alongside being Water Efficiency Project of the Year finalists, in the Water Industry Awards 2026.
This recognition follows two Global Golds for Water Management, in the Green World Environment Awards 2024 and 2023 - and 10x Green Apple Environment Award winners, including for water management, after increased actions and commitments by Water Plus since 2022.
We are a CO2e Assessed Organisation, completed a Supply Chain Review, in 2025, and we have a science-based target aligned Net Zero target. We gained the Net Zero standard in work with Carbon Footprint and we're continuing to gather more data on carbon emissions.
*Council water saving project ran from April to December 2024.
