Utility reduces leaks by 57% and eliminates 30% of annual distribution main repairs by integrating and standardizing data into a single platform
Yorkshire Water aimed to transform Sheffield into the UK's first smart water city by embracing innovation to better serve customers and the environment. A key challenge was managing massive amounts of data from 6,000 newly installed sensors and smart meters to derive operational intelligence and improve leak detection across their network. Yorkshire Water partnered with Xylem and Idrica to implement their integrated water utility management software platform, Xylem Vue. This vendor-agnostic solution integrated all of Yorkshire's disparate data sources into a centralized system with modules for leak detection, localization, meter data analytics and customizable dashboards. The platform provided a real-time operational view across their pressure management areas. As a result, Yorkshire has achieved a 57% reduction in visible leaks, 32% less leakage in priority areas, and 30% fewer annual pipeline repairs - helping to control costs, boost performance and minimize environmental impact through data-driven decision intelligence. -
