Yorkshire Water: embracing digital transformation with a LoRaWAN network from Netmore

Smart digitisation in water supply is crucial as societies transition to a sustainable way of life. In partnership with Yorkshire Water, Netmore is deploying Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to millions of households — helping deliver measurable service improvements across the region.

Service improvement goals

What the partnership will deliver

50%
Leakage reduction

Target reduction in network leakage by 2050 through real-time consumption data.

Per Capita Consumption

Per person, per day target by 2050 — supported by accurate household-level insight.

Reduction in non-household water demand by 2050 across commercial customers.

100%
Accurate billing

Why LoRaWAN for water networks

LoRaWAN is a low-power, long-range wireless technology purpose-built for Massive IoT. A single Netmore gateway — like the one we install on partner rooftops — can pick up signals from thousands of battery-powered water meters across a wide urban or rural footprint, without touching customer Wi‑Fi.

That coverage is exactly what makes an AMI rollout of this scale possible: accurate, regular reads from every household, feeding directly into Yorkshire Water's leakage and consumption models.

Outcomes for customers

  • Reduce leakage by 50% by 2050
  • Per Capita Consumption goal of 110 litres per person, per day by 2050
  • 15% reduction of non-household water demand by 2050
