Investing in water for business
Water is among the most essential commodities in any business. Regardless of the industry you specialise in, or how big or small your organisation is, water supply has a role to play in the safe, clean and healthy running of a business. But with the cost of utility bills becoming a significant concern in an uncertain economic climate, it’s important to make the right choice when selecting a supplier of water for business premises.

Water for business: the basics of commercial water management
When the English water retail market opened up in 2017, organisations were given much greater flexibility over the way they purchased water services. This not only gave more scope for negotiations on price but also enabled business customers to work with suppliers able to offer improved water management solutions.
Commercial water management refers to the strategies, technologies, and practices employed by businesses and commercial properties to effectively utilise, conserve, and manage water resources. In an age where water scarcity is an increasing concern due to population growth and climate change, efficient water management in the commercial sector is crucial.
It encompasses a broad spectrum of activities, from the design and installation of efficient plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems to the treatment and recycling of wastewater. As businesses worldwide become more conscious of their environmental impact, commercial water management emerges as a genuine priority.
The benefits of water for business
Securing the right commercial water supplier brings with it a range of benefits that can have a real bearing on your business operations and sustainability.
A reliable supplier guarantees a consistent water supply, ensuring that operations remain uninterrupted, which is particularly crucial for industries where water is a primary input. This reliability can translate to operational efficiency and, subsequently, cost savings.
A high-quality water supplier ensures that the water adheres to safety and quality standards, reducing the risk of water-borne diseases and potential liability issues. By partnering with a supplier who prioritises sustainability, businesses can also enhance their corporate social responsibility profile, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and stakeholders.
This alignment with eco-friendly practices can foster brand loyalty and offer a competitive edge in the market. A flexible supplier can offer tailored solutions that cater to specific business needs, ensuring usage is optimised and waste minimised.
Top tips for finding the right water supplier for your business
Research and reputation: Begin with thorough online research. Look for good reviews, testimonials, and preferably, industry-specific experience. At Everflow, we are proud to signpost customers to our Trustpilot reviews to independently verify the quality of our service.
Compliance and certification: Ensure the supplier adheres to local and international standards. They should have the necessary certifications, indicating their water meets regulatory requirements.
Cost efficiency: While cost shouldn't be the only determining factor, it's crucial to understand the pricing structure. Some suppliers might offer bundled services or discounts for long-term contracts, so don’t be afraid to ask about this.
Service quality: Prioritise suppliers who offer prompt customer service, regular maintenance, and immediate response to any disruptions or emergencies. The reliability of their service can significantly impact your operations.
Sustainability: Opt for suppliers who practice sustainable water sourcing, treatment, and supply methods. Their commitment to environmental protection can also reflect positively on your brand. At Everflow we prioritise sustainability in a number of clear and tangible ways. We offset 100% of our own carbon emissions as well as our customers’ and suppliers’ emissions, too.

Customised solutions: Every business has unique needs. The right supplier should be flexible and willing to provide solutions tailored to your specific requirements, whether it's the volume, purity level, or specific treatment processes.
Transparency: Choose a supplier that offers clear contract terms, transparent pricing (see what you’re actually paying for), and is upfront about any potential issues or changes in their service.
