Move from estimates to evidence with integrated sensing, resilient connectivity, and assured data built for AMP8’s proof economy.
Leakage, pollution and storm overflows now demand continuous, defensible proof, not estimates. Yet over 25% of leakage happens on customer pipes, 19% of water is still lost nationally, and 15,000 overflows need year‑round monitoring under intense public scrutiny.
Smart, assured data helps utilities reduce OPEX by transforming how leaks are detected, sites are monitored and teams are deployed.
This report shows how to replace assumptions with evidence, transforming fragmented pilots into a joined‑up digital system that delivers assured data, operational confidence, and regulatory credibility. If you need to prove performance, not just report it, start here.
What’s inside the report
- The new regulatory reality: Why AMP8 is a proof economy, continuous monitoring, auditability, and defensible data tied to ODIs/PCDs; sharper scrutiny on leakage and storm overflows.
- Beyond the meter: Smart metering becomes transformational when combined with pressure, sewer level, and water quality sensing on a single backbone.
- The digital confidence model: Trusted data —> Actionable insight —> Assured outcomes for customers, regulators, and the public.
- Anglian Water: How Anglian Water benefits from 150 million+ validated data reads per day that can support faster leak detection, enabling earlier targeting and reducing costly site investigations.
“Now we’re working with actual data rather than estimates. We can more clearly understand where and why figures diverge from our original assumptions.” — Doug Spencer, Anglian Water Head of Smart Metering.
