One accountable partner for smarter water infrastructure.

SMS Water brings operational expertise, technology, funding, programme delivery and long-term operational support together to help water companies deliver regulated outcomes with greater certainty and lower risk.

Water companies are under increasing pressure to reduce leakage, manage demand, strengthen resilience and improve customer outcomes while operating within fixed capital, regulatory and delivery constraints.

Smart infrastructure can provide the insight needed to make better decisions. But technology alone does not guarantee success. Lasting value depends on funding, technology, connectivity, customer engagement, programme delivery, data and operational adoption working together.

SMS Water removes that complexity. We provide integrated programme leadership through one accountable model, helping water companies move from strategy to mobilisation, delivery and long-term performance with confidence.


Delivering infrastructure. Creating outcomes.

The future of water infrastructure is not defined by individual assets. It is defined by how effectively funding, technology, delivery and operational expertise are integrated to accelerate outcomes.

We design every programme around the water company’s priorities, operating environment and investment strategy. By coordinating specialist partners through a single programme structure, we simplify governance, manage interfaces and keep delivery focused on measurable operational, customer and environmental value.

Three ways to partner with SMS Water

Each model is built around the same principles: clear accountability, integrated delivery, strong governance and long-term value.

  • Funded Data-as-a-Service (FDaaS) — our flagship, fully funded and fully integrated delivery model.
  • Managed Data-as-a-Service (MDaaS) — the same integrated approach, using the water company’s capital funding.
  • Smart Infrastructure Services — specialist programme, technical and operational capability, deployed where it creates the greatest value.

Funded Data-as-a-Service

Fully funded. Fully integrated. Fully accountable.

A fully funded, end-to-end model combining programme investment, technology, deployment, customer engagement, data services and long-term operational support through one accountable partner. Designed to accelerate transformation while reducing capital pressure and transferring agreed delivery and performance risk.

Managed Data-as-a-Service

The same delivery model. Your funding.

For water companies with committed capital that want the benefits of integrated programme leadership without third-party funding. SMS Water coordinates the full delivery ecosystem, bringing governance, delivery control and long-term operational support around the client’s investment strategy.

Smart Infrastructure Services

Specialist expertise. Flexible delivery.

Flexible access to specialist strategy, mobilisation, delivery, technology, data and operational expertise. Services can support a targeted requirement or strengthen a wider transformation programme, with SMS Water remaining focused on successful delivery and adoption.
