Water supply and disposal costs can account for a significant
proportion of business overheads, especially in the
accommodation sector. Implementing water efficiency
schemes can save money without affecting the quality
of service offered to guests, and at the same time portray
an environmental awareness to potential customers.
In order to avoid polluting local water supplies, incurring
fines, and / or a possible jail sentence, you must ensure
that the disposal of wastewater from your premises complies
with waste water regulations.
You should also consider, where practical, taking steps
to minimise the levels of environmentally harmful pollutants
(such as phosphates used in washing powder) present
in wastewater prior to disposal.
