Comprehensive water audits for lasting savings

Beyond looking at bills it uses on-site inspections, historical data analysis, hidden costs, waste, and opportunities for long-term savings, comparing sites across your portfolio to identify areas of best practice and areas that need to improve.

For businesses with high water intensity such as facilities and industrial operations, water audits play a key role in reducing both water and energy consumption, cutting operational costs, and enhancing resilience against rising utility prices and regulatory pressures.

Smarter water use for operational performance and resilience

Water audits identify waste, potential leaks, and billing anomalies that directly inflate your utility bills. Fixing these quickly often leads to measurable cost savings and in some cases refunds for overcharges or incorrect billing.

Water use and energy consumption are deeply interconnected. Many processes from pumping and heating water to treating wastewater require significant energy. Reducing water use reduces energy demand, helping lower overall operational costs and carbon footprint.

A detailed audit reveals where water is used inefficiently in daily operations, enabling smarter planning, equipment upgrades, and process improvements that optimise performance.

Water audits strengthen environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials by demonstrating proactive resource management and sustainability leadership valuable for stakeholders, investors, and customers alike.

Identifying potential leaks, infrastructure weaknesses, and inefficiencies early helps prevent costly disruptions or regulatory issues. Water audits increase your ability to withstand supply volatility and rising utility costs.

Aligns with ESG, CSR, and regulatory expectations.

Water Audits are ideal for businesses that:

  • Operate multiple sites with complex water use patterns.
  • Have high water and energy costs.
  • Are preparing sustainability reports or compliance disclosures.
  • Want to improve asset performance and reduce risk exposure.

Whether you’re a telecoms operator, industrial facility, or service provider, a structured water audit sets you up for smarter resource management and stronger operational resilience.

Our water audit process

We combine robust data analysis with practical site assessments, tailored to your business operations:

We start with a comprehensive review of historical water bills, consumption trends, and operational schedules to understand usage patterns and cost drivers.

Our specialists conduct detailed walk-throughs to inspect infrastructure, check metering accuracy, identify possible leaks, and observe real water use in action.

Water use is compared to industry benchmarks to highlight inefficiencies and quantify opportunities for savings and optimisation.

We deliver a clear report outlining cost-effective measures such as identification of potential leaks, system upgrades, behavioural changes, and technologies like smart metering to improve water and energy efficiency. We can also help with a business case for implementation.

As needed, our team helps prioritise interventions, develop an implementation roadmap, and support project realisation and monitoring.

Regular follow-up helps validate savings, refine targets, and ensure sustainable performance improvements.

JRP have been instrumental in helping us to reduce our energy consumption and costs during a challenging period of organisational change and growth. Professional, reliable and easy to work with.

Steven Buchan, Estates Manager | Circle Health

Working with JRP Solutions transformed our energy management journey. Their expertise and tailored support for ISO 50001 and a behavioural change programme brought real clarity and momentum. We now have a robust framework and engaged team driving down energy use. Thank you to the JRP team for their expertise, commitment, and support throughout.

Ian Goldsworthy, Energy and Carbon Reduction Manager | Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council (MTCBC)

JRP understand the support they are asked to give and deliver on time, budget and in a clear concise professional manner. If only everyone was a reliable as JRP!

Jonathan Blair, Technical Advisor | Westons Cider

We are using JRP’s ‘Be Energy’ eLearning awareness course to help us fully meet the ISO 50001 standard. This course is not only getting good feedback from our staff but the external ISO 50001 auditor completed the course and commented that it was ‘the best energy training course that he had seen’. A feather in the cap for JRP.

David Rose, Energy and Carbon Manager | South West Water

JRP were easy to work with and their pragmatic approach to the project was critical to the development of the submission and validation of our SBTs.

Kate Gallacher, Sustainability Officer | Scottish Leather Group

I have been very impressed by the quality of JRP’s work for the University of Oxford, right from the start. All the energy survey reports have been of high quality and tailored to our specific requirements. Many of the recommendations were not identified in previous surveys. JRP is not afraid to ask difficult questions and challenge the status quo. I have worked with and for energy consultancies for more than 20 years and the quality of JRP’s work is some of the best I have seen.

Philip Pike, Energy Manager | University of Oxford

From the outset, JRP provided a clear direction to us. It was beneficial to gain insight from the non-vehicle manufacturing sector and expert knowledge of the FM sector in particular. Throughout the process, JRP has been a guiding hand but who has also listened to our concerns and questions and provided patient answers to our many questions.

Christine Cooke, Senior Manager | Toyota Motor Manufacturing

We have achieved over 20% energy savings over the last 12 months and no doubt the training was a contributing factor towards this. I am sure that people are much more energy aware than they were before the training and I would recommend anyone who hasn’t done this sort of training to seriously consider it.

Andrew Smith, Property and Energy Manager | Numatic International

The skill and knowledge that was brought to bear demonstrated a level of sure-footedness that was reassuring. The breadth and quality of the work delivered was exactly what we required.

Ola Bankole, Head of Sustainability | London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

JRP delivered a comprehensive suite of audits that has really helped to us to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs across our sites. The opportunities identified were used as a platform to enhance our decarbonisation strategy, providing transparency on the technologies available now. JRP’s consultants were friendly, knowledgeable and professional at all times.
