AMA Managed Solution And District Metering Strategy Help Identify Major Leaks For Highway 71

A rural water district located between the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains in Alma, Arkansas, Highway 71 Water District No. 1, services approximately 2,500 water customers scattered across 175 miles of distribution lines throughout the countryside. 

The utility prides itself on providing safe, high-quality water to its community, while maintaining a standard of excellence in customer service and environmental conservation.
However, Highway 71 was facing challenges. The large service area and distance between meters made it difficult to detect leaks, resulting in high percentages of water loss. Highway 71 managers knew something had to be done.
