A company that retrieved £32,000 for Keltruck reckons operators could be paying too much for their water. Chris 'Tindall reports.
OPERATORS could save themselves a fortune in water costs. according to an auditing company that has just helped a truck dealer to claw back £32,000.
Water Audit Services (WAS) says truck operators are often unaware of the potential that exists for reducing water bills. In less than two months of investigation it found incorrect charges were being levied on Midlands Scania dealer Keltruck and steps were taken to recover payments retrospectively. Not only did it receive a cheque for £32,000; Keltruck will also save £6,000 a year.
WAS water surveyor Neil Holmes says:"We put in a lot of spade work with knowledge of tariffs and charges.There are very few clients we produce a report for where we say there's nothing we can do. But even if we do, it doesn't cost them a penny."
John Biggin, MD of Keltruck, says: "The results have been nothing short of spectacular. We are really pleased... you wouldn't normally think of looking at water." • Contact WAS on 01572 812125 or e-mail waterauditservicesig tiscali.co.uk
