05.17.24 -- Cut The Costs And Complexity Of Identifying NRW Losses

How To Get Acoustic Leak Detection For The Price Of An AMI Meter

Whatever number a utility estimates as its non-revenue-water (NRW) loss rate, the willingness to address it is often inversely proportional to the cost of doing so. Now, leak detection options that include acoustic monitoring as a built-in feature are cutting the costs and complexity of identifying NRW losses and recapturing lost revenues.

 

Reversing Water Loss In A Rural Municipality

The town of Oneida produces 400 million gallons of water a year and saw a 51% water loss, meaning that over 200 million gallons a year were being lost to leaks.
