DRINKING WATER DISTRIBUTION RESOURCES

  • Modernize aging water infrastructure without service interruptions. By installing strategic control points on live lines, municipalities can perform vital repairs and upgrades while maintaining full pressure and fire protection for the entire community.

  • Jersey City in New Jersey is undergoing a period of development and growth which has seen its population increase by more than 50,000 people in the last 13 years. To cater for this growth, the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority is tasked with maintaining its aging water infrastructure and improving its critical water supply to ensure it can meet the needs of its customers both now and into the future.

  • Our infrastructure systems have operated in managed deterioration for decades. And not surprisingly, once they deteriorate badly enough and cross over into active failure, all cost discipline disappears.

  • Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks. Reactive approaches to water infrastructure are only implemented after an incident and are more expensive than simple maintenance fixes. Geotechnical Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable water and wastewater industry professionals to identify and address issues before they escalate into catastrophic events.

  • Modernize water network management by combining precision ultrasonic metering with advanced acoustic leak detection. This integrated digital approach provides real-time data to identify vulnerabilities, minimize non-revenue water, and optimize distribution for long-term operational sustainability.

  • Permanent acoustic sensors turn fire hydrants into a high-tech defense against water loss. By monitoring pipe sounds 24/7, utilities can identify and fix hidden leaks before they cause expensive, unplanned service disruptions or emergency flooding.

  • Satellite-based radar technology allows water utilities to identify non-surfacing leaks that traditional methods often miss. By pinpointing underground moisture signatures, municipalities can significantly reduce non-revenue water and meet conservation goals through more efficient, data-driven field inspections.

  • Harnessing satellite intelligence allows utilities to pinpoint hidden underground leaks with precision. By focusing field crews on high-probability clusters, municipalities can drastically reduce water loss, optimize repair budgets, and prioritize critical infrastructure replacement projects.

  • A recent study argues that the traditional, manual approach to drinking-water distribution-network monitoring and leak prevention is no longer sustainable. Instead, utilities must embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) to transition from reactive repairs to proactive asset management.
  • In the U.S. alone, 2.7 trillion gallons of water are lost to non-revenue water (NRW) every year, costing water utilities more than $6.4 billion annually in unrealized revenue. Given the scale of the issue — volumes and dollars — NRW presents an opportunity for upscaling utility management.

    At Master Meter, we believe that a combination of different underlying communication technologies, which share a common endpoint design is a highly efficient and cost-effective approach. That’s why we’ve developed a flexible smart water technology solution for advanced water utility management.

  • U.S. Pipe Fabrication

    U.S. Pipe Fabrication delivers world-class ductile iron and steel piping solutions, with custom fabrication, advanced coatings, and industry-leading linings to meet every waterworks and industrial project.

  • FieldLogic™ Hand-held Device (HHD)

    The FieldLogic™ Hand-held Device (HHD) is a reliable, flexible electronic device used to collect and store meter readings and program SmartPoint® modules. You can upload pre-programmed route information from our PC-based FieldLogic software using Wi-Fi or the device’s Ethernet-enabled communications/charging stand as an interface. The unit comes with built-in capacity for expanded uses.

  • SmartPoint® 510M Non-Pit Set Module

    Our SmartPoint® 510M non-pit set module is a radio transceiver that gives you RF inbound and outbound access to water measurements and ancillary device diagnostics. It’s designed for non-submersible/non-pit (surface-mount) installations. With two-way communication ability, it serves as a walk-by or drive-by endpoint, a fixed-base endpoint or any combination of those. This versatility gives you highly flexible data collection options and simplifies both current operations and network evolution.

  • Xylem Vue's Integrated Software And Analytics Helps Utilities Unify Data From All Existing Tools And Technologies In A Single Platform

    Is your data working for you? For many modern utilities, it can be difficult to get a complete understanding of their true level of operational efficiency. Not because they don’t have enough data, but because it is often split between various systems that can’t easily communicate with one another.

  • OMNI™ Compound (C²) Water Meters

    Improve your accuracy ranges in schools, hospitals, retail centers and more with our OMNI™ Compound (C²) water meters. The most technologically advanced, large water meters on the market, OMNI C² meters provide longer service life than all other comparable meters. And you don’t have to be concerned about sustained flow rates because there are no restrictions, thanks to their continuous operating range. These meters are similar to our OMNI™ Turbo (T²) models, but OMNI C² meters have a wider flow range.
