WAT 14 - Water strategy

Erratum – [BIU V6.0.0 Wat 14] – Incorrect evidence requirements - KBCN1695

The criterion 3 evidence requirement, "evidence of monitoring data" is incorrect and invalid. Assessments should not try to meet this requirement. Criterion 3 requires the water strategy to have senior management approval. This has no relation to monitoring water consumption, which is already addressed in Wat 13 Water consumption reporting. This error will be addressed in future updates.

Water strategy – Replacement and Schedule - KBCN1673

Replacement The intent is that there is a programme in place which identifies any planned refurbishments and confirms that, where relevant, the works will include upgrading high water-consuming fittings and appliances with low water-consuming equivalents. This does not require the systematic replacement of all fittings and appliances. However, it must also include a commitment to upgrading the efficiency of existing fittings and appliances when they reach the end of their service life. Schedule This may include specific fittings and appliances with low water consumption, or it can be based on a performance specification that these must meet, e.g. the flow rate or efficiency rating.
