A working group comprising of representatives from Scottish Water, Waterwatch Scotland and Waterwise met in May 2008 to further investigate possible projects within which to conduct pilot water efficiency studies in Scotland.
Pilot projects would ideally be organisations that currently have no water efficiency strategy or working plan. This would allow a study to be carried out involving retrofitting premises with water efficient devices allowing measurement of water usage to be carried out before and after fitting to determine water savings. The group agreed that two schools would be identified and approached for study.
Following work that Waterwise has been progressing with English Local Authorities and Housing Associations, the working group agreed that it wished to carry out a study on Scottish Local Authorities (LAs) and Housing Associations to provide an overview of current and future water efficiency activity.
