How Advanced Tools Are Improving The Fight Against Non-Revenue Water

As water distribution pipelines across the country continue to age well beyond their expected lifespan, reducing non-revenue water (NRW) to keep a lid on production costs should be a primary goal of every water utility.

MAKE FIELD WORK EASIER WITH WIDE RANGE PRODUCTS

With an estimated 6 billion gallons of treated water lost daily, maintaining water infrastructure is vital for both protecting revenue and the sustainability of this precious commodity. Efficient and economic repair methods make utility crews more effective in tackling these problems.

 

The variety of pipe types in water systems makes it difficult to determine the pipe diameters needed for repairs. This uncertainty creates problems for repair crews in choosing, or having available, the proper sized fitting.

 

For over 40 years, Smith-Blair has provided wide range products capable of handling various pipe diameters. From the multi-piece Omni Coupling System to the introduction of the Quantum Coupling over 25 years ago, we have continually produced time-saving repair products. The next generation launched in 2010 with the Two-Bolt Wide Range Top Bolt and, now, we continue the tradition with the addition of Stainless-Steel Tapping SleevesWide Range Single Band Repair Clamps along with its Service Saddle counterpart.

 

Since 1939, Smith-Blair has developed and supplied quality products for the water and wastewater infrastructure. The TRUE-BLUE products are always dependable under pressure.
