RPS appointed by Southern Water to deliver Water Efficiency services

Following a competitive procurement process, Southern Water has appointed RPS to deliver Water Efficiency and customer side leakage detection services working with sub-contractor, Aqualogic.

The four-year contract begins in August 2021. As an industry leading service provider, RPS will apply the latest technology and innovations to deliver this contract which specifically supports leak detection in the home. The work includes visiting customer homes to advise them how to reduce their water consumption, installing water saving products and fixing leaking toilets.

Between 2021 and 2025, 45,000 water efficiency audits and retrofits are planned with an expectation these activities will reduce consumption on average by 50 litres per property per day for each home visit.

Conrad Ashby, Managing Director of RPS Water Operations, commented: “We have been successfully providing water and wastewater services and solutions to Southern Water for many years and we are delighted to win this latest leakage detection water efficiency contract. RPS has an excellent record of delivering effective leakage detection services to water companies and we look forward to fully supporting Southern Water’s challenge to outperform their annual leakage targets with our ‘Strategy to Operations’ ethos which provide additional value added benefits to RPS clients”.
