SES Water has reported that in the last year, it has repaired 360 leaks in 89 schools across its supply area, and fitted more than 1,000 water saving devices all for free, helping to save nearly 320,000 litres of water a day.
The company partnered with the plumbing specialist team at environmental charity Groundwork to deliver the water saving visits, which are booked in with the schools directly.
The Groundwork team conducts a full and thorough survey of the premises, checking all internal water systems, taps, toilets, urinals, bathroom and kitchen areas. If any leaks are found they are repaired for free during the visit and a follow up report is then shared with the school, outlining what has been fitted or fixed and how much water has been saved.
One school said its night-time waste reduced from 800 litres an hour to more or less nothing after the visit.
