Case study

Anglian Water

Anglian Water supplies water and water recycling services to almost 7 million people in the east of England and Hartlepool. In 2020, they teamed up with Arqiva to install and monitor meters throughout their region. The success of the partnership, which includes helping customers find and repair over 200,000 leaks, led to a contract extension in 2023 that will add 300,000 meters to its network by 2025.
