Market context
Why many companies pay for more water than they use
A company’s water bill has two parts: water and sewage. But only the first is measured by the meter; sewage is calculated as a percentage of that volume, ranging from 45% to 100% depending on the utility and the type of network.
That is why every cubic metre that leaks past the meter is billed twice: as water used and as sewage, even though it never reached the sewage network.
| Utility and type of network | Sewage billed on water |
|---|---|
| Caesb (Federal District) · conventional network | 100% |
| Embasa (Bahia) · conventional network | 80% |
| Caesb (Federal District) · condominial collection | 60% |
| Embasa (Bahia) · stand-alone sewage system | 45% |
Where T&D acts on your bill
The tariff is set by the utility. T&D helps reduce the volume the meter records, with its own technology that monitors consumption in real time and locates leaks. Because sewage is calculated on that volume, every cubic metre saved is reflected directly in the amount calculated.

Questions
What companies ask before getting started
Does implementation require construction work or stopping the operation?
No. Implementation involves no construction work and does not interrupt the site’s routine.
How does T&D prove the savings?
Through the international IPMVP protocol. The baseline is built from the site’s consumption history and adjusted by multivariate regression, which makes the result auditable.
What kind of company does T&D serve?
Medium and large water consumers: hospitals, retail chains, manufacturers, educational institutions, hotels and shopping centres.
How much can be saved on the water bill?
It depends. SEA 360º can cut water spending by up to 70%. TDRR remote monitoring on its own delivers an average 10% reduction, by spotting leaks and faults early.
What is the water management maturity assessment?
It is a free online assessment with ten questions about your operation. At the end, you get a score by area and the priorities for each gap. It takes about three minutes.
