Anglian Water Case Study on Sustainable Operations

This case study details how Anglian Water has achieved £1 million in cost savings by implementing a proactive sewer maintenance model using Esri’s ArcGIS system. The company, the largest water and water recycling provider in England and Wales, faced challenges due to climate change, including increased flooding and pollution risks. To address these issues, Anglian Water adopted the Water Recycling Risk Tool, which allows for better visualization and management of the water cycle. The tool analyzes sewer performance based on various risk factors and presents the data through interactive maps. As a result, the organization has seen a 51% reduction in sewer blockages and improved decision-making capabilities. The case study outlines the benefits of transitioning from reactive to proactive risk mitigation strategies, emphasizing the importance of digital technology in enhancing operational efficiency and environmental protection. Future developments include incorporating telemetry data and machine learning to further optimize maintenance efforts.
