Deal sees company become one of the first in the region to take advantage of market deregulation
Water2business has signed a deal to supply water and wastewater retail services to British café chain Boston Tea Party.
The chain, which has 20 sites across the South West and in Birmingham, is one of the first in the region to benefit from the deregulation of the market.
As part of the deal, automated meter reading technology, which uses real time data to track usage as often as every 15 minutes, will be rolled out at cafés to identify gradual or sudden changes in water use. These changes could indicate leaks, inefficient practices or processes, or problems with valves.
In addition, Boston Tea Party will receive consolidated bills for all of its cafes, meaning it no longer has to deal with four different suppliers for billing and site issues.
The chain said it would explore the ways it uses water and how it can “further enhance its sustainably values”.
Water2business managing director Charley Maher said: “We’re delighted to be able to support Boston Tea Party with their sustainability goals. Our experts identified significant savings that could be applied at many of its cafes.
“Not only has this work helped save water, but it will also reduce the company’s operational costs and having to only work with one company for all water and wastewater needs will make their life a lot easier.”
