Surface Water Survey

We cover the country researching and proving these savings. Many water companies now charge separately for surface water enabling us to easily identify the appropriate costs. Often the surface water element of the bill is the largest cost and deserves a thorough investigation .

Each water company have different charging structures, methods of application and amounts or periods they refund against. It is a complex process but one that we are completely comfortable with and thoroughly enjoy.

The savings are achieved by using the latest mapping software to identify sites with potential savings. The sites are then surveyed, drawings are prepared and applications submitted to the water companies to refund the potential overcharges. Additionally our team of Technicians are trained to identify savings whilst visiting site to complete audits etc.

Savings are achieved by identifying and proving that sites are billed incorrectly. In order to do this we ask ourselves the following questions:

• Does the site drain naturally?
• Do the water company actually provide the service?
• Are they correct to charge and is the charge correct?
• Can we achieve savings at this site?

With a construction industry background and the support of an architects’ practice Richard Butler project manages Waterscan’s Surface Water investigations. Having been in the Water Industry for 8 years, working tirelessly to uncover overcharges for surface water, Richard joined us in late 2007. In the first 12 months Richard achieved almost £1 million worth of refunds and £300,000 worth of ongoing savings for our clients.
