"Most water companies
have no idea about the unit
costs of their sewage sludge
operations - how much it
costs to treat and transport
the sludge, and the cost of
generating energy from it."
Richard Laikin, UK Water Sector Leader at
PwC (News, p6)
Ben Earl, Water
Efficiency Manager,
Southern Water (p16)
"We know that 60%
of our customers
are better off
a er going on to
a meter, and 40%
are worse off . For
that 40%, who in a
lot of cases went
on to the meter
quite reluctantly,
there is a real
challenge."
