The true cost of water
Water has many uses and many hidden costs. It is not just what you pay the water company for its supply. Other costs may include:
- Water treatment
- Pumping
- Maintenance
- Effluent treatment and discharge
- Capital depreciation and the value of lost raw materials and product
In addition, there is a carbon cost to the supply and transfer of water, which will contribute to the carbon footprint of your business.
