From bustling multi-campus colleges to specialist technical institutes, water management and reliable water supply play critical roles in keeping facilities running smoothly. Castle Water works with further education institutions to reduce operational risks, lower business water bills, and meet environmental targets. Whether you’re managing ageing infrastructure or planning for net zero, we’re ready to support you.
Colleges often operate like small towns, serving thousands daily across classrooms, kitchens, sports centers, and accommodation, requiring resilient water systems. By investing in robust water infrastructure, colleges can safeguard against unexpected disruptions or potential flooding. These inefficiencies can easily go unnoticed, and water waste adds up fast.
Castle Water helps colleges take a strategic approach to water management.
Colleges often face complex water and wastewater challenges, especially across multi-site campuses. Castle Water offers specialist services tailored to meet the operational, regulatory, and financial needs of further education institutions.
Bradfield College, one of the UK’s leading independent co-educational schools, saved approximately £6,400 a year on its water bill after switching to Castle Water through the Crown Commercial Service framework. The College now benefits from competitive pricing, simplified billing, and access to expert support. These savings allow Bradfield to redirect funds into core priorities, including student services and educational development.
“Good communications. Good information. Looking forward to the next project. Castle Water customer services are very good at answering communications.”
– Toby Ellis, Procurement Manager, Bradfield College

Switching suppliers can help colleges reduce fixed charges, improve billing transparency, and gain access to tools like AMR for real-time monitoring. The right supplier also offers dedicated support, helping to improve efficiency, meet sustainability goals, and simplify management across multiple sites.
Colleges should compare suppliers based on sector experience, pricing, customer service, and the ability to support multi-campus operations. Look for clear billing, proactive leak management, access to water efficiency audits, and support with sustainability reporting or regulatory compliance.
The process is straightforward. Start by reviewing your current contract terms, then get a quote from your preferred supplier. Once agreed, your new supplier handles the switch – including liaising with your existing provider. With Castle Water, there’s no disruption to your supply and minimal admin for your team.
Colleges often face rising utility costs, ageing infrastructure, and the need to manage consumption across varied facilities like workshops, kitchens and student accommodation. Balancing operational reliability with sustainability goals is also an increasing pressure, which is why visibility and proactive management are key.
Begin with a water audit to assess current usage and identify areas of waste. Implement AMR to monitor consumption in real time, and use the data to drive improvements. Appoint clear internal ownership, educate staff, and work with a supplier who understands further education to ensure systems are well integrated and maintained.
Switching your college’s water supplier is simple, and the benefits can be felt quickly. Castle Water helps colleges save money, improve water efficiency and stay on track with sustainability targets.
We take care of the entire process, ensuring a smooth transition with no disruption to your operations.
