Water Loss and Leak Detection Resources

  1. First Utility District Of Knox County Adds Pressure Monitoring, Builds Operational Confidence And Efficiency 8/10/2026

    Undetected pressure surges leave water distribution networks vulnerable to costly pipe bursts and service disruptions. Utilizing high-resolution monitoring tools provides the real-time data needed to stabilize system hydraulics, extend infrastructure life, and optimize capital investments.

  2. Aging In Place: How Acoustic Testing Is Reshaping AC Pipe Renewal Decisions 8/4/2026

    Faced with aging water networks and limited capital, utilities can optimize infrastructure spending by moving away from age-based scheduling. Non-invasive structural assessments identify true asset degradation and hidden leaks, ensuring critical funding targets the highest-risk pipes.

  3. 70,000 Gallons Per Sensor: The Water You're Treating Just To Throw Away 7/24/2026

    Continuous sample-to-waste streams can dump roughly 70,000 gallons of treated water per monitoring location. Eliminating flow-dependent sampling preserves finished water, reduces non-revenue losses, and recovers embedded energy and chemical treatment expenses across distribution networks.

  4. Six Billion Gallons Down The Drain, Literally 7/24/2026

    Diverting continuous sample streams to waste drains billions of gallons of fully treated water annually. Adopting in-line, waste-free measurement methods preserves finished supply, lowers embedded production costs, and eliminates unnecessary non-revenue water loss across distribution networks.

  5. Turning Continuous Acoustic Data Into Measurable Water Savings 6/19/2026

    Aging underground infrastructure can cause severe, invisible non-revenue water losses. Implementing continuous acoustic loggers with AI-driven analytics isolates the precise signatures of subsurface leaks, allowing utilities to target hidden failures early and maximize capital efficiency.

  6. Loudoun County Deploys Acoustic Leak Detection & Recoups Cost With Savings In NRW 6/17/2026

    Advanced acoustic sensors help growing utilities identify hidden leaks and prevent costly pipe bursts. By shifting from reactive to planned repairs, municipalities can significantly reduce non-revenue water loss and recoup technology investments through operational savings.

  7. The Expanding Role Of High‑Sensitivity Acoustic Sensing In Reducing Non‑Revenue Water 6/3/2026

    Discover how a layered approach to leak detection — combining network-level analytics with trusted surface acoustics — helps utilities isolate underground water loss, reduce unnecessary excavations, and drive measurable reductions in non-revenue water.

  8. Getting Practical About Non-Revenue Water 5/29/2026
    Problems faced by water utilities seem to grow in both quantity and complexity each year. Among the most persistent challenges is non-revenue water (NRW). In a recent Water Online Live event, industry experts gathered to discuss this multifaceted challenge.
  9. Remote Water Meter Reader: How To Retrofit Existing Water Meters For Automatic Reading 5/21/2026

    Automating manual water meter readings reduces non-revenue water loss and eliminates tedious site inspections. Retrofitting existing meters with cellular data loggers provides continuous, real-time analytics, enabling operators to identify hidden leaks and optimize multi-facility infrastructure management instantly.

  10. Modernizing Water Stewardship In The Desert Southwest 5/14/2026

    Discover how advanced metering infrastructure transforms water management by providing real-time visibility into distribution networks. Learn to identify leaks proactively, reduce non-revenue water loss, and empower consumers with data-driven insights to ensure long-term resource resilience.
