Businesses from across the South – including the Isle of Wight – can get access to thousands of pounds that can help them unlock innovative ways to save water.
Southern Water is teaming up with businesses of all sizes across its region to encourage them to save the precious resource.
The Business Partnership Fund works like a grant scheme, if any businesses have a water-saving project that can benefit their business, they can call on Southern Water for help to help them achieve it.
Southern Water’s Director of Water, Tim McMahon, said:
“Water is a precious resource and we must all play our part in looking after it. We know many businesses have some brilliant ideas to save water.
“We’re here to provide that extra bit of funding that can make those ideas a reality and that in turn will provide a much wider benefit to all our customers and businesses as water saving really does make a huge difference.”
“There are many ways businesses can save water whether it’s harvesting rain or shower water, fitting flow restrictors on taps or maybe you want to try harnessing new technology to save water – we are here to help.”
A total of £150,000 will be available to kick-start the fund. Applications are now open until 31st December this year. Water retailers supplying businesses are welcome to apply, along with water conservation service providers.
Applicants will find out if their project gets funding in January. To find out more about terms and conditions visit Business Partnership Fund.
SW could save a lot more water if they built more reservoirs instead of paying all these ridiculous fines for dumping raw sewage in the sea and what was the point of building the huge storage tanks to take stormwater like the one at Apley Park only to dump it in the sea oh yes dumping it in the sea they dont spend money treating it more money for the shareholders and the big boss
a certain island Parish Council were advised to get rid of all their water butts as health and safety risk from Legionnaires disease IF one of the hard working volunteers were to use a spray or watering can with a sprinkler attached and breathed in contaminated water droplets.
Their insurance won’t cover them if they don’t adhere to what so called‘experts’ tell them.
So potentially we must ALL be at risk from our contaminated butts
I would not want to go anywhere near your contaminated butt.
Here is a great idea – fix all of the leaks in the water network! You can have that one for nothing.
