For many businesses, water is a forgotten utility — until the bill arrives. Whether you operate a restaurant, office, or manufacturing site, water costs can quietly increase over time without notice. Since the English water market was deregulated in 2017, companies are now free to switch business water suppliers and take control of their costs.
At E for Energy, we help organisations across the UK compare business water suppliers, identify waste, and lower overall utility spend. Here’s how your business can start saving today.
Your water bill typically includes charges for water supply, wastewater removal, and surface drainage. Each supplier sets their own pricing structure, which means comparing rates can be complex without professional help. By analysing your bill, we can identify areas of potential savings — such as incorrect tariffs, overestimated usage, or charges for services your business doesn’t use.
The open water market allows every UK business to choose their water supplier, much like with electricity and gas. Prices vary across suppliers, so switching can lead to substantial savings. Through our business water comparison service, E for Energy reviews the full market to find better rates and terms that match your consumption profile. The switch itself is seamless — with no disruption to your water supply.
Reducing water waste directly lowers your costs. Consider installing smart meters or monitoring systems, fixing leaks promptly, upgrading to low-flow taps and efficient appliances, and training staff to reduce unnecessary usage. Small changes across your site can deliver long-term savings and support sustainability goals.
It’s common for businesses to be billed incorrectly — often for years. E for Energy conducts water bill audits to ensure accuracy and, where overpayments are found, helps claim refunds from your supplier.
Managing your water, gas, and electricity together through a single broker simplifies administration and strengthens cost control. At E for Energy, we provide a complete utility management service, helping businesses streamline operations and maintain competitive pricing across all essential services.
Saving money on your business water bills is achievable with the right insights and support.
