The water sector agrees on the direction of travel for Open Monitoring. But can it deliver it?
As transparency expectations rise, regulatory pressure builds, and real-time data becomes central to public trust, many utilities are still grappling with a fundamental question: how do you make your network truly visible and your data truly defensible?
Based on industry-wide research and expert perspectives, this report reveals a sector caught between ambition and reality, where support for reform is high, but confidence in delivering it remains uncertain.
From incomplete network visibility to concerns over how data will be interpreted in the public domain, the findings highlight the operational, technical, and organisational gaps that must be addressed to make Open Monitoring work in practice.

- Why most utilities still can’t see large parts of their network and what that means for Open Monitoring
- Why data confidence, not just data collection, is emerging as a critical risk
- Why funding and operational complexity continue to slow progress
- How connectivity is becoming the backbone of real-time monitoring
Open Monitoring has the potential to rebuild trust, improve resilience, and transform how the sector operates, but only if the foundations are in place.
