Yorkshire Water ploughs £30m into curbing leakage and bursts
Yorkshire Water is investing £30 million in a three-year leakage and burst reduction programme.
It has formed a team of 40 that will be responsible for implementation in the next 12 months of 15 projects across three areas: smart networks, calm networks and resilient networks.
Smart Networks
Data collection about how the network is performing and will be connected through an artificial intelligence operating system. The technology will enable the water company to optimise the response to network events, speeding up visibility, prioritisation of work and proactive customer communications.
Calm Networks
Optimising the water pressure within the network and reducing the pressure variations that can weaken pipes, ultimately resulting in bursts
Resilient Networks
Increasing control of the network to enable scheduling of automated activities that reduce the impact of a network event or remote operation of valves to mitigate the event’s impact on service.
