Water is the most important resource for agriculture and the maintenance of livestock such as dairy and beef cattle. Beyond the basics of crop irrigation and livestock hydration, a reliable supply of clean water may be needed to maintain hygiene standards in stables and studs, clean and sanitise equipment, power misting and cooling systems and carry out many other daily operations. So what happens when that supply is disrupted?

Construction sites have a legal obligation to provide potable water (or drinking water) at locations throughout the site. Because of its accessibility, this water is often used for a range of applications, despite the fact that they do not demand water that meets the quality standards of drinking water. The use of potable water for these applications can increase operational costs without any specific benefits.

Businesses in the agricultural, construction industries, and hospitality and tourism sectors - particularly those offering remote accommodation such as remote lodges, eco resorts and glamping sites - require off-grid water systems that supply a sustainable water supply for many of their functions.

Planning water reuse and usage efficiently is the best way that event organisers can reduce costs and optimise the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. Event water requirements will include a combination of potable water and non-potable water.

Providing a steady supply of potable water for construction workers to drink is an often overlooked yet fundamental aspect of running a successful construction site. The availability of clean water contributes to the health, productivity, and operational efficiency of construction projects. Underestimating how much you may need or failing to manage your supply properly can lead to delays and other mid-project challenges, and result in ballooning costs. This blog from the experts at Universal Tankers defines why potable water delivery is important for construction sites and how investing in potable water delivery can make a meaningful difference to your site’s operations.

Understanding the difference between potable and non-potable water is vital for safety and efficiency - sourcing non-potable water for drinking use can have serious health impacts, In this blog we explore the main differences between potable and non potable water.
