Access to clean, fresh drinking water is essential for everyone’s wellbeing. Although over the last decades our understanding of water related issues has increased, new challenges emerge every single day, to give examples of a few recent ones:

  • How is water used in new houses?
  • Which automatic meter reading equipment is right for my company?
  • How will mains renewal impact my company’s leakage level?
  • Is chemical free water treatment possible?

The UK water companies posed many difficult questions in preparation of PR09 submissions and WRc’s industry-recognised experts worked closely with their clients to deliver solutions acceptable to the water industry regulators, customers and the environment.
