Cork County Council replaced manual Excel-based leakage reporting with an integrated SCADA and analytics platform across four zones serving 140,000 customers. The solution aggregates data from over 1,000 remote flow meters via GPRS into a single SharePoint view using Bing Maps, Historian, and StreamInsight calculations for daily DMA water usage. The deployment enabled accurate leakage reporting and supported the EU 30% energy reduction target by 2020.
