Self Supply or Public Supplier?
Businesses face many challenges when it comes to their water wholesaler. From responsible usage to liquid effluent treatment plans, water retailers such as Source for Business, cover a range of services designed to help you with the admin.
If you operate in an industry that requires substantial water usage, such as manufacturing or hospitality, you may consider self supply. This service is only available in England.
Self suppliers purchase water and wastewater directly from the regional wholesaler. This requires significant upfront investment and ongoing administration. Furthermore, you will not have access to any customer support should anything go wrong.
Water retailers such as Source for Business can manage this for you, offering peace of mind and on-going maintenance. Many retailers offer additional services, such as leak detection, water audits and support when switching premises. These cost saving measures could reduce your overall billing, without losing the ability for improved customer service.
