One dripping tap can use 5,500 litres of water every year! Regardless of the size of your business, improving water efficiency can make a massive difference to both your annual water and energy bills. This is something our customers benefit from when taking up our comprehensive water efficiency service - an EcoMOT.

With that in mind, Let's take a look at how we've helped one of our current customers, Muddy Boots Nursery in Wilberfoss.

Client: Muddy Boots Nursery

Summary

We visited Muddy Boots Nursery in Wilberfoss to review where savings could be made on bills, energy and CO2. Whilst on site, our technician installed some retrofit products to immediately reduce water consumption on a selection of assets. These interventions delivered an instant and tangible impact on water usage. Additionally, we found scope for significant savings with further upgrades.

The interventions made on the day achieved:

across the 9 assets upgraded

Annual savings already achieved:

Recommended upgrades

Alongside the above ‘quick wins’, huge potential for saving was found with further upgrades. The majority of taps and toilets were found to be moderately to severely inefficient and would benefit from water efficiency installations, one tap had a leak wasting about 150ml per hour and there was scope to install a rainwater harvesting solution that would supply an average of 300m3 per year. With our proposed solutions, Muddy Boots could boost the above savings to 47% water reduction, 49% energy reduction and 49% carbon reduction accross the 47 assets upgraded.

Annually, this equates to savings of:

The cost for this project work comes in at £1,646, meaning Muddy Boots will get their money back in less than a year.
