There’s a perfect storm facing the industry and you probably feel like it’s just getting stronger given the: 

• scale of operations.  
• cost to maintain and repair the infrastructure. 
• pressure to modernise and adapt. 

Leakage is a prime example of this perfect storm as:  

• it exists on a huge scale: 3,113 million litres of water is lost per day in the United Kingdom.  
• the direct financial cost of this is staggering with the fines levied by Ofwat for exceeding the daily limit.  
• there is pressure to reduce leakage due to population growth, sustainability, strategic resilience and to mitigate fines. 

There are also wider challenges facing the industry, which include the overreliance on costly and disruptive reactive repairs rather proactive maintenance, risk of disruption to the water supply, and lack of control over critical data.  

Investing in technology is an important step in reducing leakage – something that you’re aware of – and but there is more that can be done and that’s where we can help. Partnering with EES Data Solutions provides the industry and digital experience that you need to improve your operational performance, quality, and reliability.
