The Amex Stadium reduces water use by 10%
We carried out a Water-Saving Audit at The Amex Stadium which has helped the club save over 40,000 litres of water a day and reduce their bills.
We all need to do our bit to save water, and finding and fixing leaks in our network is a top priority. One of the ways we’re doing this is by offering Water Audits to some businesses in our region.
Our Water Audit scheme is run in partnership with Groundwork and looks for leaks within businesses. The Amex Stadium, home of Brighton & Hove FC, took up the opportunity for a free Water Audit and the results have been astonishing.
Skilled plumbing engineers visited the site and carried out a survey, checking all internal water systems in toilets, bathrooms and kitchen areas for leaks and water wastage. Leaky appliances were then repaired and a range of water-saving devices were fitted to help stop wastage and reduce water bills immediately.
Despite being a relatively new stadium, our visit to The Amex identified 45 leaks across the site’s
toilets, taps and urinals. Collectively, these were wasting almost 34,000 litres a day.
Fixes were carried out on the leaky appliances, with water efficiency devices then fitted to 38 toilets and 21 taps, saving a further 7,143 litres of water. In total, a whopping 41,203 litres of water a day have now been saved. A full water efficiency report was then provided to the club outlining what had been fitted, and fixed, and how much water had been saved – all free of charge.
Amex case study
We’ve had great success with our pilot audits so far, including at the Amex Stadium in Brighton where we carried out fixes to over 45 leaks. We then fitted water efficiency devices to toilets and taps across the site. In total the audit has saved the stadium over 40,000 litres of water a day.
