From 1 April, changes to default water rates are set to come into effect. While these increases are not a sudden one-off spike, they are part of a broader trend of rising costs over time. For businesses not currently in contract, this could mean gradually increasing bills without the protection or clarity a procurement strategy offers.
Many organisations are unaware of their current contract status or how default pricing is affecting their bottom line. If your business hasn’t reviewed its water procurement recently, now is a good time to start the conversation.
Why Consider Reviewing Your Water Procurement?
A well-managed procurement strategy offers more than just cost savings – although savings of 10–15% are possible. It also enables:
- Improved service levels and billing accuracy
- Better payment terms and contract flexibility
- Reduced risk of disconnection or missed payments
- Stronger visibility and control over consumption
