Global Omnium, one of Spain's largest water utilities, has gone through a remarkable digital transformation over the past two decades - upgrading from conventional meters to an advanced smart meter network of over 550,000 fixed network smart meters. This journey provides valuable lessons for any water utility looking to modernize its operations and capitalize on the latest innovations in smart metering and data analytics.

The Autonomous Region of Navarre, located in northern Spain, has a surface area of over 10,000 km² and a population of approximately 680,000, concentrated mainly in the Pamplona metropolitan area. It has a highly complex hydrological system, as it is divided between the Ebro River basin, which covers approximately 90% of the region, and the Cantabrian basin, characterized by short, fast-responding basins.

Xylem Vue is helping the Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro (CHE) reduce flood damage and implement an EWS for stakeholders managing disaster situations in the basin.  CHE is the water authority that manages, regulates and maintains the Ebro river basin, which covers a surface area of around 85,000 km2 and takes in 347 large rivers in northeastern Spain.  

In 2002, the EPA entered into a federal consent decree with MSD, mandating the elimination of sanitary sewer overflows and significant mitigation of combined sewer overflows into receiving waterways. Engineers estimated the cost to mitigate the sewer overflows at $3.1 billion, an unacceptable capital expense to pass along to MSD’s customers.

EMASESA (Empresa de Abastecimiento y Saneamiento de Aguas de Sevilla S.A.) is responsible for water cycle management in the Spanish city of Seville and its metropolitan area. The utility supplies approximately 100 hm3 of drinking water to 1.4 million residents in 12 municipalities every year, as well as distributing raw water to 31 municipalities, serving a total area of 1,220 km2. It manages a 4,000 km network, six water reservoirs, 35 pumping stations...

Improve control, responsiveness, and efficiency of facilities and processes by providing real-time network status information and analyzing historical network and asset data. Increase resource management effectiveness and efficiency to provide customers with the highest level of service at the lowest possible cost.

Gruppo CAP deployed Xylem Vue's AI-driven platform to optimize its 6,500 km water network, reducing water losses and improving asset management.

This project aims to build and calibrate a hydraulic model for trunk mains water systems in selected areas of New Territories East Region and deploy the model through Idrica’s Real-Time What-If-Scenarios solution (now called Xylem Vue).

Scottish Water partnered with Xylem to upgrade hundreds of pumping stations with innovative, energy-efficient technology, as part of its commitment to reaching net-zero emissions. 

To expand digital transformation initiatives beyond the city of Valencia, and effectively manage up to 400 different services across a widely dispersed geographical area. Due to the nature of the project and the stakeholders involved, Global Omnium needed to integrate the systems, sensors, and communication protocols which were already installed across the various infrastructures it managed.

Celle cuts energy consumption by 22% and chemical use by 56% using Xylem Vue WWTP optimization technology, saving tens of thousands of euros annually.

Provide integrated, in-depth, real-time knowledge on system, plant, and asset performance which would allow Global Omnium to more efficiently operate and manage the complex water network in Valencia, Spain and the surrounding metropolitan area.

Regulate and monitor pressures, supervise flow rates, consumption, and non-revenue water (NRW) in different sectors, and bring together system information from various sources including the SADM’s SCADA.

Air Selangor is a large water distribution company owned by the Malaysian state of Selangor. The public utility serves a population of 8.4 million residents and manages over 6200 kilometers of trunk mains, ranging from 300mm up to 2200mm, with much of the pipelines located in remote areas of the state.

ApaVital deploys Xylem Vue to reduce daily water losses by over 800 cubic meters, achieving compliance with EU regulations.

As the level of national awareness for the need to protect our nation’s water resources continued to grow, federal and state regulators pursued a consent decree in 2006 requiring enhancements to Buffalo’s collection system.

Evansville is located on the north bank of the Ohio River in southwest Indiana. The City’s sewer system, parts of which are more than 100 years old, serves a population of 163,000, with combined sewers making up almost 40 percent of the total sewer area.
