Saving Water Commercially

It is extremely important that every Australian is careful how they use water, and this includes commercial plumbing and industrial plumbing in Sydney. Over 1.4 billion litres of water is used in Sydney, with businesses, industries, and schools using 420 million litres alone. A lot of water can be saved when it comes to commercial and industrial sectors.

The Facts: Water is a vital resource. Without it there wouldn’t be life. So how do commercial buildings use commercial plumbing, like the thousands of businesses in Sydney, use this important resource?
  • 26% of the water used is actually leaking away out of taps, urinals, cisterns, pipes, valves, and pumps
  • 37% is used in amenities like toilets, showers, and kitchenettes
  • 31% is used in cooling towers, including those for air conditioners
  • 3% gets used in retail, such as in food outlets
  • 2% goes to cleaning
  • 1% goes to landscaping and watering plants and gardens
It is incredibly disturbing that the third highest use of water in a commercial building is through leakage and wastage. It is also quite scary to realise that amenities use the most water. So what can you do as a business to do your part in saving water and reducing those 420 million litres being used each year?



Education: Education is always a key step when it comes to changing habits and behaviours. Get everyone in your building to realise exactly what is happening when they leave the tap running or take a long time in the shower. Make sure that they’re aware that just because they aren’t paying for the water they use that this water isn’t a surplus or an additional to the water they use at home - it’s all from the same source, it’s all part of that 1.4 billion litres.

Water Saving Devices: There are plenty of commercial plumbers in Sydney, and all of them can install a number of water saving devices in your business. Water saving devices include:
  • Dual flush toilets
  • Timer flow taps
  • Waterless urinals
  • Flow controllers
Any one of these devices can save water, and save you money in the long-term.

  11. The job outlook for plumbers is promising. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of plumbers is projected to grow by 4% from 2019 to 2029, which is about as fast as the average for all occupations. Factors contributing to this growth include the need for new construction, the maintenance of existing infrastructure, and the increasing complexity of plumbing systems in modern buildings.
