Future City Water

Future City Water delivers state-of-the-art solutions that secure our most important commodity - drinking water. The smart drinking water systems of the future are automatically controlled to minimize leakage, ensure water quality and optimize water use throughout the supply chain, around the clock.

Access to clean drinking water is taken for granted in the Nordics. But even here, in northern Europe, we experience problems due to aging pipe systems, droughts and low renewal rates. Future City Water uses digital technology to gain control over the drinking water supply chain and ensure that it can be fully integrated into the smart city.

About Future City Water

Future City Water is an innovation project that aims to increase the pace of development of a smart network for drinking water supply – from water source to tap. Today, there is a need for municipal water and sewerage companies to gain control over the supply of drinking water and quickly obtain information about leaks, operational disruptions and water quality.

The loss of drinking water in Sweden alone is estimated to be around 20 percent, a major financial burden to communities. Leaks are both difficult and expensive to repair, and this leads to a delay in investments in new infrastructure. With the help of Future City Water’s tools, the entire water supply chain is digitized and hence gives a better overview of the system.

The project received financial support from Vinnova’s challenge-driven innovation programme.

Future City Water helps you to
