When was the last time you thought about water suppliers? Managing a club involves juggling a lot of responsibilities – from maintaining facilities to budgeting for utilities. Among the many operational costs, water bills often get overlooked as something that could be improved or optimised. However, reviewing and potentially switching your water supplier could bring real benefits to your club, both financially and operationally.
New Flexibility in a Deregulated Market
Since the deregulation of the water market in 2017, clubs have the opportunity to choose their water supplier, much like how you select your energy provider. This change has sparked competition in the market, pushing suppliers to offer better rates and customer service to win new customers.
If your club is in an area where the water market has been deregulated, you may have the opportunity to explore options, compare prices, and switch to a supplier who offers a better deal. Simply put, deregulation puts the power in your hands to find a service from a water supplier that better fits your club’s needs.
The Potential for Cost Savings
By exploring different suppliers, you can often find more competitive rates that may reduce your monthly or annual water expenses. This can be particularly beneficial for clubs operating on tight budgets. Even a small percentage decrease in your water rates can add up over time, freeing up funds that could be better allocated to improving facilities, expanding programs, or investing in other club needs.
Smarter Water Management Solutions
Modern water suppliers are increasingly offering tools and services designed to help businesses manage their water usage more efficiently. Some provide water usage monitoring systems, leak detection technology, and consumption reports to help you keep track of where and how your water is being used. These services can lead to greater efficiency and potentially lower water bills by identifying areas where usage can be reduced.
For clubs that are serious about improving sustainability and reducing their environmental impact, switching to a supplier with a focus on water efficiency can make a real difference.
