A game-changing UK partnership that is bringing significant improvements to leak detection rates globally has been recognised by the water industry.
Portsmouth Water has driven down the amount of water lost through leaks to the lowest on record for a UK water company.
In an industry first, Anglian Water is deploying an adapted form of naval technology across its network to locate and fix leaks faster than ever before.
Anglian Water has gone out to tender with a contract for leakage detection and network sensor equipment worth an estimated £10 million.
James Sumsion, CEO of predictive water intelligence specialists Kohtari, says the water sector needs to take a giant leap forward, so that it can anticipate and act upon water quality issues - rather than merely react.
Ray Moulds, Sales Director at Flood Control International, takes a look at how automated sliding floodgates are supporting secondary containment at water and sewerage company sites.
With the UK government demanding a 50% reduction in storm overflow spills by 2029, the era of reactive management is over. Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025, then environment secretary Steve Reed said, “This Government will cut water companies’ sewage pollution in half by the end of the decade.”
