Project that could bring fibre broadband to remote areas while monitoring pipes for water leaks<\/p>\n

The government has launched a \u00a34m fund to back projects trialling running fibre optic broadband cables through water pipes to help connect hard-to-reach homes without digging up roads.<\/p>\n

The money will also be used to test out monitors in pipes that can help water companies identify and repair leaks more quickly.
