A major focus for the water and wastewater industries in the year ahead: data. Water companies are under growing pressure to cut leaks, reduce their environmental impact, and drive efficiency. One key way they’re tackling these challenges is by installing smart meters. Smart meters provide real-time data on water usage, helping identify leaks faster and giving customers insights into their consumption. This not only saves water but can also lower household bills by encouraging more efficient use. It’s all part of Ofwat’s targets to improve performance across the sector, and the government aims for 80% of homes in England, Scotland, and Wales to have a smart meter by the end of this year. If successful, the initiative will mean fewer leaks, better water resource management, and take a step closer to meeting sustainability goals in a sector that’s under increasing scrutiny. But as with any new technology, customer adoption will be key. It’ll be interesting to see how households respond — and whether the water industry can win public support for a smarter, more efficient future. #WaterIndustry #WastewaterIndustry #PBJEngineering
