How Richmond Reduced CSOs By More Than 180 Million Gallons Annually

Unaccounted-for water loss remains a critical financial and operational strain on municipal utilities, often driven by aging infrastructure and hidden distribution leaks. Continuous real-time data integration directly addresses this challenge by transforming existing meter reads into actionable intelligence. By continuously evaluating pressure variables, flow telemetry, and system consumption patterns, utilities can instantly pinpoint anomalous drops and structural vulnerabilities before catastrophic main breaks occur. This targeted detection capability identified over 180 million gallons of non-revenue water loss, allowing field maintenance teams to prioritize repairs efficiently and preserve local water reserves. Operating proactively rather than reactively protects essential revenue streams while safeguarding community water security.
