The changing face of
the water industry

To create a more resilient water sector, water companies just like yours are being asked to reduce leakage and reduce per capita consumption.

Ofwat’s PR24 guidance indicates that water companies that set and deliver 'aggressive reductions' through the use of smart technology and better use of data will be rewarded. So, companies should treat smart meters as 'the standard meter installation', according to Ofwat.
