As part of our commitment to schools, education and you, our dedicated team will work in partnership with you to reduce your organisation’s water costs, improve water efficiency and help you to meet your environmental and sustainability targets.
As UK utility bills rise, it’s more important than ever that schools do whatever they can to use less power and less water in order to minimise the effects of the price hikes and use their money for the good of the students. There are many water efficiency measures your organisation can take to help reduce usage and save on water bills.

Castle Water’s dedicated, expert trade effluent team has the experience and technology required to understand it like no one else – and we make the process simple.
Our dedicated team will provide your organisation with:
Consolidated billing provides a convenient way to receive and manage your multi-site costs in one simple invoice. This service is ideal for multi-site customers who wish to receive a single invoiced amount for all their water and wastewater charges, requiring just one single monthly payment. Depending on the size of your school or campus, consolidated billing could be the right option for you.
During water outages, we can provide standby water supplies to meet your needs. Whether it’s simply the supply of bottled water, or bulk supplies and tankered water, contact us and we can work with you to establish a continuity plan that meets your needs.
With so much water needed for the day-to-day running of your school, a water efficiency strategy can bring huge benefits. The majority of independent schools need facilities for boarders, which means the provision of washing and toilet facilities that are used 24/7, as well as laundry facilities. From breakfast to supper, boarders need feeding, so the kitchens will be preparing daily meals for everyone.
Focus Academy Trust saved £7,500 on their annual water bill by switching to Castle Water as their sole water supplier, enabling them to reduce their water bills and re-direct funds towards front line resources.
Read the full case studyWhen a series of unexpected increased water bills indicated a leak, and call outs from private contractors were unsuccessful, Verulam School turned to Castle Water for support with leak concerns. Castle Water immediately organised a site visit to fix the unrepaired leak and completed a leak allowance application on the customers behalf. This resulted in Verulam School being granted a full leak allowance by their water network Wholesaler of over £13,600.
“I want to thank Castle Water for all your help in guiding us through this process and securing a leak allowance for the school. As you can imagine, the £13,629.20 allowance is a huge amount for a state school, and we are extremely grateful for all your support.” - Kate Locke, Business Manager at Verulam School
