Business Water Rates were privatised in Scotland years ago but many businesses are still paying the same provider (usually Scottish Water Business Stream) and have never looked to see if/where savings can be made – particularly with multi-site premises.
As switching can normally be completed within 3 weeks, savings can be made from the second month after contacting us.
No site visit is normally required and the quote/paperwork can all provided and returned online.

Business Water in England
Switching Your Water Supplier
Switching Your Water Supplier
It took a further 9 years after Scotland deregulated before the English water market did so in April 2017. After England deregulated, the water industry was split into water wholesalers and water suppliers. Water wholesalers are responsible for supplying clean water and removing the wastewater from your property in your local area. Wholesalers maintain the entire water network from reservoirs, treatment centres, to the pipes that enter your property.
Any problems with your water supply, your water meter, or a leak to your property, will be the responsibility of the wholesaler to fix the problem.
Business water suppliers purchase water in bulk from the wholesaler and sell it to individual business customers anywhere in the country.
The responsibilities of the water supplier are as follows:
· Accurately invoice your business for the water used.
· Provide customer services and act as a point of contact if
anything goes wrong.
· Read meters.
