The Wave Talk Joins the UK Treatment2Tap Project in Collaboration with Siemens and the University of Sheffield

The Wave Talk is currently collaborating with Siemens and the University of Sheffield on sensor testing for potential integration into the UK’s large-scale water innovation initiative, Treatment2Tap – Water Quality As A Service.

Treatment2Tap aims to establish a new operational model that enables real-time water quality monitoring across the entire network—from treatment works to customers’ taps. Upon completion, the project is expected to become Europe’s largest integrated water quality and leakage management sensor network.

The initiative was selected through OFWAT’s Breakthrough 2: Catalyst innovation program and is led by Northumbrian Water. The consortium also includes Siemens, the University of Sheffield, Welsh Water, South East Water, Scottish Water, and Anglian Water, alongside several other utility and technology partners.

In mid-November, The Wave Talk met with the University of Sheffield research team to review the test progress and discuss potential pathways for integration. We will continue working with global partners to advance the future of real-time water quality monitoring.
