Coles - Smart Water Metering

Coles engaged WaterGroup to implement smart metering in a range of their supermarkets around Australia.  It gives Coles the ability to track, trend and report water consumption in their stores, as well as instant identification of any abnormal usage, leakage in particular. Coles is expected to benefit from additional savings in the order of 5% from greater user awareness through the added transparency that online metering provides.  In addition, corporate sustainably reporting will be immensely streamlined and more robust (based on real data).

South East Water - 46% reduction in water consumption

"South East Water utilised the services of WaterGroup as part of its Greater Than 1 Mega litre Residential  Program that achieved a 46% reduction in water consumption by targeted customers.  WaterGroup was responsible for the installation of over 100 Mini loggers as part of the program and the provision of time of use consumption reports which were integral in identifying the cause of excessive water consumption and gaining the trust of our customers so as to get them to adopt water conservation practices. We found WaterGroup's level of service and data analysis skills to be exemplary and the success of our program over the last 2 years would not have been possible without their involvement, service and dedication."

NSW RTA - Strategy for Water Savings

The NSW RTA has a corporate goal of saving 15% of its water consumption.  WaterGroup helped in the preparation of a corporate water tree ensuring that the NSW RTA was one of the first organisations to have achieved this.  Leading on from this initiative, their property group engaged WaterGroup to strategically look across their depots for major savings from rainwater harvesting which resulted in the production of detailed specifications.  RTA liked the fact that WaterGroup are both designers and contractors.  Hence they know what works, and what doesn't, and they have solid cost estimates because they can guarantee to do the work at the prices presented.

Blacktown Storm Water Quality Improvement

WaterGroup is helping Blacktown City Council improve stormwater quality.  In a five month contract we installed gross pollutant traps to capture pollutants and four high priority sites.  This will prevent 150 tonnes of pollution each year from entering the local creek.

"It has been an absolute pleasure to work with WaterGroup.  I really appreciated their no fuss no nonsense approach and they kept us informed on progress all the time without prompting."

Natalie Payne, Blacktown City Council

Ku-ring-gai Council - Smart Water Metering
