Wencheng County is a typical mountainous area in southern Zhejiang Province, characterized by scattered water supply stations and long pipelines. The traditional manual operation mode leads to delayed water quality supervision, severe pipeline leakage, high labor costs for rural water supply, and lack of digital support for corporate management. The author currently serves as Deputy General Manager of Wencheng Water Affairs Co., Ltd., Wenzhou Public Utilities Development Group, and has overall responsibility for the construction, launch and daily operation of the local IoT smart water project. Combining frontline experience in engineering management and corporate operation, this paper introduces an integrated IoT construction framework. With data cases, it elaborates four core application scenarios including water quality control, DMA leakage control, remote operation of rural water supply and smart revenue management. It sorts out the bottlenecks of IoT operation in mountainous areas and proposes targeted optimization schemes, providing practical references for the implementation of IoT projects in similar mountainous water utilities.
