The Smart Valve Key is a portable device that attaches to a traditional valve key and remotely assesses the status of valves within a network as open or closed. It then reports back to a central system. The device identifies the GPS location of the valves and records the number of valve turns, giving operators a clear view, and maintaining the accuracy of their network. The Smart Valve Key provides improved system visibility and fewer water-quality complaints relating to the opening of valves that have been closed for long periods of time.

The rollout of digital meters is an opportunity to deploy advanced NBIoT sensors throughout the network. Detailed customer usage information will help customers save water. The meters will help detect leaks not just on the customer side, but – thanks to a patented integrated vibration sensor developed by South East Water – within the utility network as well. The insights, alerts and alarms generated by meter data, and enhanced by advanced algorithms, are visible through a cloud-based platform to help utilities and customers to save water.
