Case Study: Anglian Water achieves earlier burst detection and energy savings with Badger Meter force main monitoring

Anglian Water saves $40,400 a year with Badger Meter force main monitoring

Anglian Water, a major UK utility, faced the challenge of detecting bursts on its extensive network of over 6,000 force mains to minimize environmental impact. To address this, the utility partnered with Badger Meter to implement a major monitoring program using the vendor's PIPEMINDER-ONE External sensors and RADAR cloud analysis platform.

The solution from Badger Meter provided high-resolution data and automated burst alerts, enabling rapid response. Analysis of the data also identified operational inefficiencies, such as a blocked non-return valve that was causing excessive pump usage. Rectifying such issues resulted in over £30,000 per year in energy savings, with the utility anticipating a full payback on its technology investment within one year.
