Smart water management for water utility companies
Hit PCC & leakage targets faster, more cost-effectively.
The urgent challenge for utilities
Over the next few years, demand for water in the UK will exceed supply. Climate change, population growth, and aging infrastructure mean water companies must act now to reduce leaks and cut per capita consumption (PCC).
Ofwat’s targets are ambitious—PCC must drop from 150 to 110 litres per person per day, and leakage must be significantly reduced. But most utilities are not on track to meet these goals. Smart meters are being rolled out, but they don’t accurately detect leaks inside properties, where a third of all water loss occurs. Water utilities also often lack an effective way to change customer habits around water consumption.
Watergate provides the missing link—helping utilities detect hidden leaks, drive behaviour change and new habits formation, and reduce water waste at scale.
