Reduce My Business Water Costs
From cost-effective plans to sustainable strategies, we help SMEs reduce water costs and enhance sustainability and efficiency with tailored water solutions that fit your needs.
Reduce My Costs works with major UK water suppliers to secure competitive, favourable terms for your business — without you having to shop around or negotiate yourself.
Since the water market deregulated in 2017, businesses have had the freedom to choose their supplier. Yet many SMEs still roll over existing contracts simply because reviewing the market feels time-consuming or unclear.
We handle the comparisons, secure competitive rates, and ensure you’re only paying for the water you actually use. If improving efficiency is part of your plan, we can also integrate smart meters to give you better visibility and greater control over consumption.
Less admin. Less supplier stress. Just smarter water procurement, managed from start to finish.

The Deregulation of the Water Industry
When the UK water market deregulated in 2017, businesses were given the freedom to choose their water supplier for the first time. Before that, regional monopolies controlled supply, leaving little room to negotiate.
Now, businesses can compare suppliers, secure better rates, and improve efficiency. The reality, though, is that many SMEs don’t have the time to properly review the market — so existing contracts simply continue without question.
We review your current agreement, assess the wider market, and present the most suitable options clearly and transparently. The goal is simple: competitive pricing, the right package for your needs, and complete focus on your bottom line.
Water Procurement for SMEs: Existing Suppliers
If you’re hesitant in changing your current supplier, you could still benefit from our water procurement service by renegotiating your current water tariff. We want to make sure that your business is getting the most suitable package for your SMEs needs, not overpaying for stuff you don’t need!
Water Procurement for SMEs: New Suppliers
We search the market on your behalf, removing the time and hassle of trying to find the right supplier yourself. Once we’ve compared the most suitable options for your business, we present them clearly so you can choose what works best for you.
Simple, transparent, and handled properly from start to finish.
Water Efficiency and Smart Water Meters
Improving water efficiency is a simple way to cut costs and reduce overuse and waste. At Reduce My Costs, we can help you install smart water meters that accurately monitor and track your consumption, so you only pay for what you actually use.
Smart meters also help you spot issues early, with technology designed to detect leaks quickly and reduce the impact before they turn into bigger problems. It’s an easy upgrade that can reduce waste, tighten up spend, and give you much clearer visibility of your water usage!
Water FAQs
What is commercial water deregulation and how does it affect my business?
In 2017, the commercial water market was deregulated, meaning that businesses are now able to choose their water supplier. Reduce My Costs can help you choose a new water retailer, renegotiate a price with your current retailer, and aid you in choosing a new package based on your business’s needs.
Can I switch my water supplier at home?
No, domestic customers in the UK can’t switch water suppliers – unlike businesses, the water market isn’t open to households. Your supplier is based on where you live.
Are there any ways for me to reduce my domestic water bills?
Simple changes like fixing leaks, installing water-saving devices, and using appliances efficiently can significantly lower your bill. Some water companies also offer free conservation kits and support for households looking to cut usage.
Can I get help if I think my business is being overcharged for water?
Yes. We can carry out a bill validation service to check for errors, incorrect tariffs, or overestimated usage. If we spot any discrepancies, we’ll help you claim back overpayments and ensure you’re charged correctly moving forward.
How can switching water suppliers help save money?
By comparing tariffs and services across the open market, you can often find more competitive rates than your current supplier offers. Many businesses also benefit from consolidated billing, improved customer service, and efficiency audits to reduce usage and costs.
What is a water audit and do I need one?
A water audit reviews your business’s water usage, billing accuracy, and potential inefficiencies. It can identify leaks, overcharges, and areas where you could save—making it a smart first step for cost control and sustainability.
