Ovarro’s end-to-end leakage detection system, EnigmaREACH, has entered its fifth UK strategic deployment, as water companies adopt the proven technology to meet ambitious water loss targets.

Yorkshire Water is investing £16 million in reducing leakage from its clean water network this year, as it seeks to hit a 15% reduction by 2030 and secure future water supplies.

Northumbrian Water, which supplies water to 2.7 million people in north-east England, is aiming for an 8% reduction in leakage in AMP8 - 2025-30 - with a long-term target of 55% by 2050, from its 2017/18 baseline.

Yorkshire Water is investing £30 million in a three year programme supporting leakage and burst reduction and expanding its smart network team with 14 new roles.

United Utilities has gone out to tender with an AMP7 framework contract for acoustic hydrophones worth an estimated £20.6 million.

United Utilities has gone out to tender with an AMP7 contract to supply acoustic, hydrophone and lift & shift loggers worth an estimated £12.9 million.

Southern Water has increased the size of its leakage team and is employing new tools and techniques to find and fix leaks as the South East faces a future of more people and less water as part of its commitment to halve leakage by 2050.

Yorkshire Water is carrying out the UK’s most advanced smart water network pilot in Sheffield and has so far installed almost 2000 upgraded meters and reduced leakage in the area by more than 90,000 litres per day.

Powerful leak detecting AI has advanced to the stage where it now calculates a leak’s size as well – providing a powerful new tool to transform leakage performance and water loss from public networks, say its developers.

The world’s largest network of water leak loggers using powerful Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity is taking shape in the North West.
