Case Study: Severn Trent Water achieves proactive pollution detection and faster incident response with BP3 Global

How BP3 helped Severn Trent Water reach a 99.98% compliance level with drinking water standards, bringing healthy water to millions of residents globally

Severn Trent Water, a major UK water utility serving 7.7 million residents, was relying on a reactive third‑party sensor service and needed proactive pollution detection to catch unsafe flow or pollution levels before incidents occurred. BP3 Global was engaged to address this gap, delivering a rules management system using process management to enable early, automated detection.

BP3 Global implemented a rules-driven solution that correlates sensor readings with rainfall data and defines normal performance parameters, empowering non-technical users to manage and refine detection rules without dedicated IT resources. Within a month the system detected a blockage buildup and averted a pollution incident; over time it has flagged hundreds of potential problems, helped Severn Trent maintain a 99.98% compliance level with drinking water standards, and reduced response time and costs.
