1. The Scottish Water industry is complex
with a number of charging mechanisms
that can be difficult to understand. As a
result, many organisations are being
overcharged on their water bills.
PCMG can help you to identify whether you can
achieve a refund on a no-win, no-fee basis.
 Water Cost Recovery is a detailed forensic analysis of your historical
water, wastewater and surface water costs.
 Our analysts carefully review 5 years of your historical expenditure, in
line with the Statute of Limitations.
 Our data collation specialists will support the process of gathering
the data together and some data can be sourced directly from your
suppliers.
 Once overpayments have been identified, we will submit our claims
to your suppliers with full evidence to negotiate refunds on your
behalf.
 As well as identifying historical overpayments, we will also identify
ongoing saving opportunities.
 Water Cost Recovery is risk free, as our fee is based entirely on a %
share of savings achieved.
