Ask the Expert: Can your school reduce its water bill?

Schools face mounting challenges in managing water costs, with increasing price hikes, unvalidated billing, and hidden leaks leading to unnecessary expenditure. As schools strive to allocate budgets effectively, ensuring efficient water management has never been more critical.

At Zenergi, we understand the complexities of water procurement and the impact of inefficient systems on your financial and environmental commitments.

Alex Payne, our Director of Energy and Water Procurement, explores the pressing issues surrounding water usage in schools and provides actionable insights to mitigate risks and drive efficiencies.

Rising prices are a constant challenge for schools, making it essential to identify every possible area for savings. One often-overlooked opportunity is choosing the right water retailer, which can unlock better pricing and lead to substantial cost reductions.
