Case Study: Commercial Landlord Company saves $190,000 annually on water and sewer costs with WatchWire

Commercial Landlord Saves $190,000 annually on Water/Sewer Costs

Commercial Landlord Company faced unexpectedly high water and sewer bills and retained WatchWire to audit its utility invoices and identify recovery opportunities. During the review WatchWire discovered that five of the site’s cooling towers had never had cooling tower applications submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), so they were not receiving sewer credits.

WatchWire personnel visited the site, completed and hand-delivered the missing DEP cooling tower applications, arranged DEP meter certifications (three towers certified), and followed up when initial credits were omitted. The DEP issued an immediate $116,000 credit covering four months, and WatchWire’s work is expected to produce $190,000 in annual savings going forward (5 towers missing applications; 3 towers certified).
