Play Full Video

UK water utilities still face challenges despite being so advanced when it comes to digital transformation. One of the challenges comes from investigations by water authority Ofwat, which has fined water utilities on many occasions for wastewater spills. To look for a solution, the UK’s water industry is planning to invest 10.2 billion pounds in an overflow programme that will cover infrastructure renovations and digital solutions, proving a growing trend in the UK to increase investments in wastewater. Anglian Water is one of the utilities relying on digital to face their wastewater network issues with projects like their DSV, Dynamic Sewer Visualization.


In this video we delve with Hannah Brunsden, Project Manager within the Water Recycling Strategic optimization team at Anglian Water and Adam Jessop, Strategic Optimization Network Manager at Anglian Water, into the DSV project, what it is, how it works and why they chose the framework they did, as well as other digital solutions in their wastewater network and return on investment.
