style=\"font-weight: 200;\">At this year’s Smart Water Systems Conference, one message came through clearly: smart metering is no longer just about installing devices. Across both days, Horizon Water Infrastructure contributed both strategic thinking and live delivery insight, showing that smart metering creates most value when data, operations, governance and delivery are designed to work together from day one, and that the sector is now moving from ambition to practical, outcome-focused delivery at scale.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>Understanding the state of smart metering\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Over two days in London, the Smart Water Systems Conference 2026 brought together leaders from across the sector to discuss how smart technologies, data and collaboration are reshaping the future of water infrastructure.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">With AMP8 now in its second year and Ofwat placing greater emphasis on outcomes, water companies are under increasing pressure to deliver measurable improvements across leakage, demand management and network performance.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Horizon Water Infrastructure (HWI) was proud to contribute to that conversation through two sessions that reflected both sides of the challenge: how smart metering should be designed, and how it can be delivered at scale in practice.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">The sessions also showed that smart metering is no longer a future ambition. It is an active transformation already underway across the sector. The question is no longer whether smart metering matters. It is how to structure programmes so they deliver real operational outcomes over time.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/contact/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Get in touch with Horizon Water Infrastructure to discuss how an integrated smart metering programme could support you.\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>Day one: smart metering only works when the whole system works together\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">On day one, HWI’s Smart Solutions Design Partner \u003Ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-dady-041786238/\">Tanya Dady\u003C/a> spoke as Chair of the Future Water Association Metering Group in a session titled “Smart metering: greater than the sum of its parts.”\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Her message challenged one of the most persistent misconceptions in the sector: that smart metering is primarily a device installation programme. Instead, she set out that the real value of smart metering is only unlocked when \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/solution/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">technology, data, workflow integration, customer engagement and operational processes are connected.\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That distinction matters. Water companies are under pressure to reduce leakage, manage demand, improve network visibility, respond to water scarcity and deliver regulatory outcomes. Smart metering only supports those goals when the data is usable, trusted and embedded into day-to-day operations.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">In other words, utilities do not simply need meters. They need measurable outcomes enabled by reliable data.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Tanya captured that challenge clearly:\u003C/p>\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>“My challenge to all of us in this room is not just to implement smart metering well, but to think bigger, act more connected, and hold ourselves to a higher standard.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Because if we do that, we won’t just improve performance – we’ll leave things better than we found them: a legacy for future generations.”\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">It was a strong way to open the conference because it moved the conversation beyond rollout. The point was not that smart metering needs more complexity. It was that it needs more connection between the parts that already exist. That is where whole-system value begins.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Read more:\u003C/b> \u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/insights/for-smart-metering-to-succeed-water-companies-should-look-beyond-amp8/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">For smart metering to succeed, water companies need to look beyond AMP8 – Tanya Dady\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>Day two: moving from strategy to delivery at scale\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">On day two, \u003Ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-bryant-49390524/\">Simon Bryant\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-channell-ab471b8/\">Richard Channell\u003C/a> from Horizon Water Infrastructure joined \u003Ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-d-5193a94b/\">Stephanie Davidovitz\u003C/a>, Head of Smart Metering at Southern Water, to present “Scaling smart metering and network innovation.”\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Where day one focused on strategic design, day two showed what that thinking looks like in a live operational environment.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">The session focused on \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/insights/contract-award-notice-southern-water-appoints-horizon-water-infrastructure-for-water-meter-upgrade-rollout/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Southern Water’s smart meter upgrade programme and the Funded Data-as-a-Service model behind it.\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\"> The programme is being led by Horizon Water Infrastructure as prime contractor, bringing together programme planning, meter supply, installation delivery, connectivity networks, technology platforms and data and analytics within one integrated delivery ecosystem. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That structure simplifies programme management, reduces interface risk and creates clearer accountability across delivery.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">The operational proof points shared in the session were especially important.

They depend on close alignment between water companies, delivery partners, technology providers and operational teams.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That was reflected clearly in the Southern Water session.

That is where performance ceilings start to appear.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">The question is not simply whether \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/solution/#technology\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">the technology\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\"> works. It is whether it can scale to the full requirement of the programme.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That means working backwards from the end goal. Water companies need to understand not just how many meters they want to install, but what connectivity rates, \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/solution/#daas\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">data performance levels\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\"> and success rates they expect across the hardest parts of the estate as well as the easiest.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">If that thinking does not happen early, programmes can end up heavily invested in a technology before discovering that performance cannot move beyond a certain point. That is exactly the kind of avoidable mistake large programmes need to protect against.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cb>Evidence matters more than novelty\u003C/b>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">For rollouts to succeed, technology selection needs to be built around evidence.

Different environments create different technical demands, and some programmes may require a combination of approaches rather than one uniform answer. The goal is not to buy the most interesting technology. It is to buy the most suitable one.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Read more: \u003C/b>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/insights/for-smart-metering-to-succeed-water-companies-should-look-beyond-amp8/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">For smart metering to succeed, water companies need to look beyond AMP8 – Tanya Dady\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>Rollout pace depends on aligning stakeholders, systems and ways of working early\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Technology is only one part of the challenge. Large-scale rollout is also a people, process and systems integration exercise.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">What often happens is that a water company runs procurement through a relatively focused internal team, sometimes supported by external advisers. The programme is defined, contracted and mobilised at pace. Then, once delivery becomes real, wider operational stakeholders start engaging more directly.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">At that point, network teams, billing teams, customer teams and operational leaders may begin raising additional requirements or challenging assumptions that were not fully surfaced earlier. None of that is unreasonable. In fact, it is often exactly the right input. The problem is timing.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">If those stakeholders are brought in too late, rollout can quickly lose momentum. Decisions may need to be revisited. Processes may need to change. Governance can become more complex. A programme that looked stable on paper can start to drift before it has built real pace.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That is why early stakeholder engagement is so important. The strongest programmes identify who carries influence, where integration points sit across the organisation, and what support is needed on both sides before delivery ramps up.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cb>Structured mobilisation protects momentum\u003C/b>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">At Horizon Water Infrastructure, structured mobilisation is critical to \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/our-finance/#how-we-work\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">how we work\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">.

Momentum comes from confidence. And confidence comes from knowing, every day, whether performance is holding up as the programme scales.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That means delivery needs proving points. Water companies and delivery partners need to agree what “good” actually looks like, how it will be measured, and what evidence will show that the programme is ready to move into the next gear.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">At programme level, that requires close monitoring of issues such as:\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 200;\" aria-level=\"1\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Installs attempted\u003C/span>\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 200;\" aria-level=\"1\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Installs completed\u003C/span>\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 200;\" aria-level=\"1\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Failed installs and the reasons behind them\u003C/span>\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 200;\" aria-level=\"1\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Connectivity and network readiness\u003C/span>\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 200;\" aria-level=\"1\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Patterns in field conditions that may affect performance\u003C/span>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">The detail matters. If a meter cannot be installed because a boundary box is too shallow, for example, that needs to be captured accurately and consistently. Only then can teams analyse failure trends properly, identify what sits within their control, and work with the customer to remove wider constraints.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">This is where daily and weekly feedback loops become so important. They allow programmes to improve continuously rather than waiting for problems to accumulate. Just as importantly, performance monitoring needs to stay ahead of rollout, because a programme can appear to be moving quickly while actually storing up later problems.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cb>Change needs a delivery mechanism\u003C/b>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Large infrastructure programmes always evolve once they move from procurement into live delivery. The challenge is not whether change will happen. It is whether the programme is structurally ready to absorb it.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That means putting mechanisms in place early to capture new requirements, assess impact, agree decisions, manage commercial consequences and keep delivery moving. Without that, relatively reasonable changes can destabilise the whole programme.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">One practical example from \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/insights/contract-award-notice-southern-water-appoints-horizon-water-infrastructure-for-water-meter-upgrade-rollout/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">our work on Southern Water’s smart meter upgrade programme\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\"> illustrates the point. An early approach to meter replacement could have followed a relatively low-profile model, where teams simply arrived on the day and completed the replacement. Southern Water decided instead that customers should be engaged in advance through letters or emails, reflecting the importance of customer communication within the wider programme.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That change mattered operationally. It required communications processes, artwork approval, print and distribution capability, and system controls to make sure each step happened in the right order. Because the change was addressed quickly and built into the programme properly, it was accommodated without delaying rollout.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That is the difference between a programme that treats change as disruption and one that treats it as a normal condition of delivery.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Read more:\u003C/b> \u003Ca href=\"https://horizonwaterinfrastructure.co.uk/insights/why-water-companies-need-integrated-advisory-delivery-and-funding/\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Water Infrastructure: Why water companies need integrated advisory, delivery and funding\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>Strong partner ecosystems turn programme complexity into delivery momentum\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Large-scale smart water metering is rarely delivered by one organisation acting alone.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Even where a prime contractor leads the programme, delivery still depends on a wider ecosystem of partners, specialists and platforms. That makes partner alignment a major delivery issue in its own right.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">The strongest programmes build resilience by selecting partners with real expertise in their own domain, then creating enough transparency, trust and communication to surface issues early and solve them quickly.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That matters because the right partner ecosystem does more than provide capacity. It broadens capability. When delivery partners are aligned to outcomes, open about problems and able to contribute real subject matter expertise, programmes become stronger. Teams can draw on a much wider pool of knowledge, solve problems faster and optimise continuously as the rollout matures.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">That is especially important in smart water programmes, where technical, operational and customer requirements intersect all the time.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cb>Talk to Horizon Water Infrastructure about your smart water meter rollout\u003C/b>\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Ultimately, large-scale smart water metering is not a repetition exercise. It is a programme that combines technology selection, systems integration, stakeholder readiness, operational governance, continuous improvement and structured change.

companies delivering smart water meters at scale in AMP8 need to ensure those programmes can evolve as requirements change. Simon Bryant, Finance & Commercial Director at Horizon Water Infrastructure, argues that the challenge is not just delivering rollout – but ensuring programmes can adapt as technology develops, suppliers change and expectations increase. With Ofwat placing greater emphasis on long-term performance and outcomes, he explains why traditional delivery models create constraints, and how Horizon Water Infrastructure’s vendor-agnostic approach helps water companies retain flexibility while maintaining clear accountability.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>Most smart water programmes lock water companies into early supplier and technology decisions\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 200;\">Most smart water programmes begin in the same way.
