Reducing Costs and Water Waste across School Trust Sites
- Schools in England lose an estimated 1.5 billion litres of water each year through undetected leaks, leading to unexpected expenditure and diverting funds away from frontline education [1].
- The Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy requires schools to reduce resource use and achieve net zero emissions by 2050, putting increased pressure on trusts to improve water efficiency and environmental performance.
- Many schools lack high consumption alerts and early leak detection, resulting in avoidable water loss, higher costs, and operational disruption.
