Water Loss and Leak Detection Resources

  1. Understanding Flow And Pressure In Municipal Water Systems 10/9/2025

    Effective pressure management is essential for reliable municipal water delivery, preventing pipe bursts, improving energy efficiency, and extending infrastructure life. Balancing flow and pressure, which are affected by factors like elevation and pipe integrity, is key to utility operations.

  2. The Hidden Cost: Uncovering The Truth About Non-Revenue Water 9/25/2025

    Non-revenue water drains utility budgets, resources, and public trust. Audits, ultrasonic metering with acoustic leak detection, and community engagement provide practical, cost-effective steps to curb losses and improve efficiency.

  3. Minnetonka, MN Pilots Acoustic Pipe Assessment Prior To Road Resurfacing 9/19/2025

    A Minnesota suburb used non-invasive acoustic technology to assess an aging water main before a 20-year road construction moratorium. This critical data allowed them to confidently prioritize pipe renewals and better manage their infrastructure budget.

  4. How FlexNet NaaS Delivers Utility-Grade AMI Without Upfront Costs 8/12/2025

    As operational costs rise and aging infrastructure strains budgets, many water utilities are turning to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to reduce non-revenue water, streamline operations, and deliver better customer service. 

  5. Why Reducing Non-Revenue Water Matters For Water Utilities 7/31/2025

    In today's challenging environment, water utilities face mounting pressure to operate more efficiently while maintaining high service levels and managing aging infrastructure. At the heart of these challenges lies a critical issue: non-revenue water (NRW). 

  6. Combating Water Loss: The Role Of Data In Tackling Non-Revenue Water 7/23/2025
    Each year, an estimated 30% of the world's treated water is lost before it reaches end consumers due to leaks, theft and aging infrastructure. This poses a significant challenge for utilities across the globe.
  7. Chlorine Sensors Waste An Estimated 6.1 Billion Gallons Of Non-Revenue Water Every Year 7/22/2025

    Chlorine sensor waste streams cause massive water loss and costs. The Halogen MP-5 sensor eliminates waste, reduces maintenance, and improves efficiency—offering a breakthrough in sustainable water monitoring.

  8. The Hidden Cost Of Water Leaks 7/22/2025

    Every day in the U.S., an estimated 6 billion gallons of water is lost due to leaks in our water distribution systems. That’s enough to meet the needs of 60 million people—and it’s not just your water that’s being lost.

  9. How To Stop Water Loss And Secure Your Network 7/16/2025

    KROHNE’s PipePatrol uses advanced pressure wave analysis to detect and locate leaks in real time, helping water utilities reduce non-revenue water and improve network efficiency.

  10. A Dynamic Trio For Water Networks — Smart Metering, Hydraulic Modeling, And AI 7/8/2025
    Non-revenue water is a global problem. Around 30% of drinking water is lost on its way to the consumer, imposing a huge economic loss that increases the overall cost of water treatment. The good news: By combining smart metering, hydraulic modeling, and AI, utilities can effectively increase their operational efficiency, reduce water losses, and optimize the utilization of increasingly scarce resources.
