About
Horizon Water Infrastructure acts as one accountable partner for water companies designing, delivering and funding smart water programmes. Through Funded Data-as-a-Service (FDaaS) we help utilities access the data and delivery support needed to reduce leakage, manage demand, improve customer outcomes and strengthen long-term water resilience.
Delivering smart water at scale starts long before installation. We guide water companies through the decisions that shape performance – from technology and data access to customer engagement.
Through our sister companies – Horizon Energy Infrastructure, Smart Meter Assets and Smart Metering Systems – we draw on 30+ years of experience and over 7.5 million managed meters.
Backed by KKR, a leading global infrastructure investor, we combine delivery expertise, financial strength and specialist partner capability to reduce risk and deliver at scale.
The UK water sector cannot meet rising performance expectations with infrastructure programmes designed around installation alone. Our mission is to help water companies build smarter, more resilient systems that use trusted data to support better decisions for customers, communities and future water resources.
Delivering Funded Data-as-a-Service (FDaaS), our focus is clear: unlocking greater value from smart water programmes and delivering stronger operational and customer outcomes.
Our values
We work with water companies and collaborate with our partners for the long haul, guided by our five core values.
Flexibility
Our vendor-flexible model gives water companies room to adapt as programmes evolve. They can choose the right technologies and partners without being locked into a single supplier route, while keeping clear accountability.
Partnership
Our role is to make complex delivery easier to manage. We coordinate water companies, technology providers and specialist partners through one accountable model, bringing mobilisation, installation, connectivity, data access and operational adoption together.
Ingenuity
Our team applies innovation where it improves real-world performance. By combining proven technology with practical delivery experience, we improve data visibility, strengthen decision-making and support long-term value.
Commitment
Our programmes are designed to deliver value beyond installation. We help water companies build the foundations for leakage reduction, demand management, resilience and better customer service.
Passion
Our team is driven by the role smart water programmes can play in protecting future water resources. By improving network and customer visibility, we help utilities act earlier, target interventions and support the communities they serve.
Sustainability
We are committed to minimising the environmental and ethical impact of our work – and helping our clients do the same – as part of the UK’s transition to net zero by 2050. Our model is grounded in the Green Finance Framework, unlocking innovative funding and partnership models that accelerate sustainable infrastructure investment across the UK.
Leadership team
Our team brings together specialist expertise across the water, energy, infrastructure and finance sectors, united by a shared commitment to delivering lower-risk, fully integrated and outcome-led solutions for water companies. Working collaboratively across our specialist teams and strategic partners, we combine deep sector expertise with a relentless focus on quality, safety and successful delivery to create smarter, more sustainable water infrastructure.
Our partners
We work with more than 70 partners across technology, communications, installation, data and customer operations. Because we are not tied to a single supplier, every programme can be built around the right combination of capabilities. We bring those partners together through one accountable delivery model, reducing complexity and helping water companies achieve better outcomes with greater confidence.
