The sewer bill
nobody questions.
A Real Example
A data center with a $20,000 monthly water bill uses cooling towers that evaporate most of that water into the air. The utility bills sewer fees on the full incoming volume. That's potentially $15,000–$18,000 per month in sewer charges that should never have been billed — times 36–48 months retroactively.
Municipalities charge sewer fees based on incoming water — assuming what comes in goes back to the drain. For a facility with evaporative cooling, that assumption is simply wrong. The water goes into the air, not the sewer.
In most jurisdictions there's a sewer deduction credit for non-returned water. Almost no one claims it — because almost no one knows it exists. We do.
-
1Retroactive Sewer RefundWe calculate your evaporative loss and file retroactive claims — typically recovering 36–48 months of overcharges.
-
2Permanent Billing CorrectionWe work with your utility to install sub-metering that documents non-returned water going forward — so the overcharge never recurs.
-
3Verified Water DataYour corrected water consumption becomes accurate, auditable data — valuable for ESG reporting and operational documentation.
