DRINKING WATER DISTRIBUTION RESOURCES

  • Mechanical point repair offers a cost-effective, efficient alternative to traditional lining for fixing pipe defects. These thin-profile stainless-steel sleeves restore structural integrity and seal leaks quickly, significantly reducing project costs while maintaining optimal flow.

  • Smart water technologies improve customer satisfaction through accurate billing, leak detection, and data-driven insights, helping utilities build trust, reduce losses, and enhance operational efficiency.

  • Modernize aging water infrastructure without service interruptions. By installing strategic control points on live lines, municipalities can perform vital repairs and upgrades while maintaining full pressure and fire protection for the entire community.

  • Jersey City in New Jersey is undergoing a period of development and growth which has seen its population increase by more than 50,000 people in the last 13 years. To cater for this growth, the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority is tasked with maintaining its aging water infrastructure and improving its critical water supply to ensure it can meet the needs of its customers both now and into the future.

  • Our infrastructure systems have operated in managed deterioration for decades. And not surprisingly, once they deteriorate badly enough and cross over into active failure, all cost discipline disappears.
  • Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks. Reactive approaches to water infrastructure are only implemented after an incident and are more expensive than simple maintenance fixes. Geotechnical Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable water and wastewater industry professionals to identify and address issues before they escalate into catastrophic events.
  • Modernize water network management by combining precision ultrasonic metering with advanced acoustic leak detection. This integrated digital approach provides real-time data to identify vulnerabilities, minimize non-revenue water, and optimize distribution for long-term operational sustainability.

  • Permanent acoustic sensors turn fire hydrants into a high-tech defense against water loss. By monitoring pipe sounds 24/7, utilities can identify and fix hidden leaks before they cause expensive, unplanned service disruptions or emergency flooding.

  • Satellite-based radar technology allows water utilities to identify non-surfacing leaks that traditional methods often miss. By pinpointing underground moisture signatures, municipalities can significantly reduce non-revenue water and meet conservation goals through more efficient, data-driven field inspections.

  • Harnessing satellite intelligence allows utilities to pinpoint hidden underground leaks with precision. By focusing field crews on high-probability clusters, municipalities can drastically reduce water loss, optimize repair budgets, and prioritize critical infrastructure replacement projects.

DRINKING WATER DISTRIBUTION SOLUTIONS

  • flowIQ® 3200

    The flowIQ 3200 meter is a great fit for commercial and district metering with its advanced ultrasonic technology and smart capabilities. This meter provides unparalleled visibility into water usage, helping prevent revenue loss and manage your water resources more efficiently.

  • ORION Cellular LTE Endpoint

    Utilizing the secure, existing cellular network infrastructure, the ORION® Cellular LTE endpoint is designed for maximum flexibility to meet a variety of your AMR and AMI water meter reading system and application needs.

  • SoundPrint® AFO Continuous Remote Monitoring Platform

    The SoundPrint® AFO Continuous Remote Monitoring Platform is a proactive pipeline monitoring solution that uses acoustic fiber optic (AFO) technology to detect structural deterioration in prestressed concrete cylinder pipelines (PCCP). By continuously listening for wire breaks and other anomalies, the system enables utilities to assess pipeline health in real time, reducing the risk of catastrophic failures and extending asset life. Data is securely transmitted to a cloud-based dashboard, providing operators with actionable insights for maintenance and capital planning.

  • VIS – Submersible Vertical Turbine (Borehole) Pumps

    Ideal for deep set applications where use of lineshaft pumps is impractical. Complete unit is installed underground resulting in space-saving, quiet operation. Long life / low maintenance – no lubrication, alignment.

  • EchoShore-DXe Acoustic Leak Monitoring Sensor

    The EchoShore-DXe Acoustic Leak Monitoring Sensor is a valve-based sensor that extends the leak monitoring capabilities of the Echologics EchoShore-DX system. 

  • Aquavar IPC Variable Speed Controller

    Aquavar IPC Variable Speed Controller is optimized for pumps in submersible and ground water applications. It adds capabilities including multi-pump configuration and remote monitoring.

DRINKING WATER DISTRIBUTION VIDEOS

As global supply chains grow more unpredictable, the water industry is rethinking how and where critical technology gets made. In this episode, Kamstrup’s James Salisbury reveals how localized manufacturing—bringing key suppliers closer to home—is transforming resilience, quality, and responsiveness.
