We get it, water isn’t the most glamorous topic. It flows, we use it, we pay the bill. Job done… right? 


Not quite. 


Behind every tap, every flush, and every drop running through your business is an opportunity to save money, cut waste, and build a Smarta future.  


That’s where we come in… 


Who are Smarta Water?


We are Smarta Water, your independent water partner helping businesses across England and Scotland take control of their water usage and their water bills. From hospitality groups and schools to multi-site property developers, we work with organisations of all shapes and sizes to make water simple, cost-effective, and sustainable. 


What Smarta Water Actually Does


Now here’s where it gets interesting. Because water doesn’t have to be boring when you are in control of it. 


1. Water and Wastewater Management 


Let’s start with the basics.  


We help you use less water and waste less water.  


That means making sure clean water isn’t being used unnecessarily, and greywater (like from sinks and showers) is reused where possible. 


By understanding how water flows through your building or site, we can recommend changes that don’t just help the environment but also lower your bills.  


Simple? Yes. Smart? Absolutely. 


2. Trade Effluent Help 


If your business produces wastewater from industrial processes, think food, drink, car washes, or manufacturing, you might need something called a trade effluent consent. It sounds scary. It isn’t. We’ll help you navigate it, apply for it, stay compliant, and avoid any “surprise” charges. 

No legal jargon, no stress. Just support. 


3. Smart Metering with SUMS 


This is where the tech comes in. Our Smarta Utility Management System (SUMS) gives you real-time data, with updates every 15 minutes. 


 Why does that matter? Because it means spotting a leak the day it starts, not the month it shows up on your bill. 


A hole just 2mm x 3mm in a copper pipe might not sound like much, but it can be leaking water at a rate costing over £5,000 a year. Small issues can lead to big bills if left unchecked! 

SUMS means seeing when you are using more water than you thought. And it means finally being in the driver’s seat when it comes to usage and cost. 


4. Water-Saving Devices That Truly Work 


It’s not just about the data, it’s about what you do with it. 

 

We help businesses install water-saving taps, urinals, and rainwater reuse systems (no, really). These small tweaks add up to BIG savings.  


We’ll show you which devices make sense for your space and even manage the install if you want us to. 


5. Consolidated Billing 


Running multiple sites? Tired of juggling a pile of different water bills? We simplify it. One monthly invoice. Water, wastewater, trade effluent, drainage, all in one place. It’s clearer, smarter, and makes budget planning a breeze. Plus, if something looks off, you’ll see it instantly. 


6. And That’s Just the Start… 


We also support: 


  • Water audits and usage footprinting 

  • Leak detection and repair 

  • Wastewater recycling 

  • New water connections 

  • Full project consultancy and engineering 


If water’s involved, we can help.

Bonus: Smarta Energy 


In 2024, we teamed up with our brilliant sister company Smarta Energy to offer a complete utility partnership, water + energy, all under one Smarta roof. 


If you want to: 


  • Cut energy costs 

  • Go greener 

  • Simplify billing 

  • Monitor usage across electricity, gas, and water... 


Then, combining Smarta Water + Smarta Energy is the ultimate power move. 

It’s also just easier. One team. One approach. One clear goal: helping your business thrive 


What Makes Us Smarta? 


You could say it’s our tech. Or our service. Or the fact that we care about making your life easier. But really, it’s the combination. We get to know your business, we listen to what’s not working, and we build a solution around you. Not the other way around. 


We’re not a call centre. We’re people, water experts, engineers, account managers, and sustainability nerds who just want to make your utilities easier and your business stronger.
