April 2014 - SES Water | Water Management

The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said water charges will be the last austerity measure implemented by the Government.

Mr Kenny’s comments come ahead of a Cabinet meeting later this week where new plans for Irish Water will be put to ministers.

Two weeks after a row erupted between the coalition parties over the scheme, the Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan is reportedly preparing proposals that could allay some of the fears among the Labour Party.

Speaking in Co. Wicklow last night, the Taoiseach also promised that water charges would be fair and affordable.

He argued that in the long run, water charges will actually save the taxpayer money.

IRISH Water contractors were driven out of a housing estate by a group of more than 100 parents and children protesting against the installation of water meters.

Irish Water said it was forced to stop works in the Ashbrook Heights in the Lehenaghmore area of Togher in Cork yesterday morning for health and safety reasons. However, it said the work to install the meters would continue.

Water is essential for life, but many businesses still fail to recognise the commercial importance of this vital resource.

In the twenty years leading to 2030 global freshwater demand is expected to rise by 40%. But despite the stress on water globally, few organisations currently measure their water use, or manage the risks associated with the depletion and degradation of this critical resource.

The total cost of water consumption and disposal within an organisation can often be surprising, and the associated greenhouse gas emissions very substantial. Therefore businesses should be including water measurement and reduction as part of both organisational cost reduction and sustainable development strategies.

SES provides a first class leak detection service and whilst we have worked with some of the biggest companies in Ireland including ESB, Kerry Group, and Element Six, we have also completed lots of work for domestic customers.

Our highly experienced team have all the all the knowledge and equipment required to effectively detect leaks and conduct the necessary repairs.

As part of our service, we allow for an Initial Consultation with all clients that have a leak or suspected leak.

We constantly striving to utilize all the latest methods of detection and equipment required to effectively detect leaks and conduct the necessary repairs. Some of the methods we use include acoustic leak detector, helium leak detectors and the tracer gas method.

Leaks in heating systems are normally small and hard to find. SES use the tracer gas method to find this type of leaks. This gas leak detector method is useful for any size or type of underground pipe and will save you from having to tear up your floor aimlessly searching for a leak.

Our leak detection services are available for a wide range of pipes including plastic pipes.

Below are two pictures of leaking pipes we found for domestic customers in Clare and Galway. These leaks meant that they were losing thousands of litres of water but luckily they caught it just in time before the water charges start otherwise they would be losing money as well as water!

If you suspect that you might have a leak on your property contact us today and see how we can help you!

We recently undertook some work at The Absolute Hotel in Limerick City.  The hotel approached us because they were concerned with the amount of money they were spending on water charges.

We advised them that implementing some of our water saving products could dramatically reduce their water consumption. They were particularly interested in our Smart Waterless Urinals.

The Smart Waterless Urinal System completely eliminates the need for water to flush urinals. The urinals have a valve that only opens when in use and shuts airtight when not in use to prevent any smell coming back up the drain.

It is possible to save between €250 – €350 per bowl per year by converting to Smart Waterless Urinals, also 5 flushed urinals could use up to 876,000 Litres of water a year versus no water in with our waterless urinals.

Some of the other key benefits include:

• Can be easily retrofitted into existing bowls.
• Eliminates the risk of flooding.
• Environmentally Friendly.
• No nasty smells.
• No messy cartridges or barrier liquids.
• Simple Maintenance.

Below is a before and after picture of our work at The Absolute Hotel.

If you would like to reduce your water usage in a cost effective and environmentally friendly way contact us today and see what we can do for you!
