High Water and Maintenance Costs
Throughout their many branches, Mother’s Enterprise has been faced with high water bills coupled with constant repair and maintenance of their restroom facilities. In June, 2014, Instant Save Conservation was contracted to conduct a pilot project at two store locations: North and South Parade in Down Town, Kingston. At the end of June, all toilets, faucets and hand wash sinks for customers and staff at both locations were retrofitted with Instant Save’s water-saving products.

By using our no-handle faucets, customers and staff are less likely to be affected by cross contaminants usually caused by the touching of faucets handles, thus reducing the spread of germs and viruses.
Mother’s is currently undergoing a schedule to retrofit their hand wash sinks as well as their staff and customer’s restrooms in oth-er store locations island wide.
