Case Study: Yorkshire Water achieves proactive sewer network management with StormHarvester

Yorkshire Water removes 900+ blockages with StormHarvester

Yorkshire Water, serving over 2.2 million households, faced the challenge of managing a vast sewer network with a reactive approach that was no longer sustainable. Alarm noise was straining operational teams and limiting proactive work. They partnered with vendor StormHarvester to transition to a proactive, insight-led operational model using its AI-powered monitoring solutions.

StormHarvester implemented several modules to detect issues like blockages and pump failures before they escalated. The solution analyzed sensor data and rainfall patterns to generate alerts, allowing crews to prioritize interventions. This approach resulted in over 900 blockages being cleared and over 3,700 jobs raised with a 99.2% positive intervention rate, helping Yorkshire Water prevent pollution incidents and internal flooding.
