DRINKING WATER DISTRIBUTION RESOURCES

• What Utilities Should Know About School Lead Data

  Under the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI), community water systems will need to identify covered schools and childcare facilities, conduct outreach, and carry out required sampling. Existing state data can provide a useful head start, but utilities should know what they are looking at before relying on it.
• No Easy Way To Add Supply: Bozeman Chooses Continuous Acoustic Monitoring

  When water rights are fixed, capturing underground leakage is critical. Continuous acoustic monitoring identifies developing pipeline vulnerabilities early, reducing leak runtimes from months to days, cutting non-revenue water waste, and saving thousands in emergency repair costs.

• First Utility District Of Knox County Adds Pressure Monitoring, Builds Operational Confidence And Efficiency

  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.

• Modernizing Water Distribution Systems With Advanced Metering Infrastructure

  The use of smart water meter systems or AMI has emerged as the vital element in a water network upgrade program, using two-way communications to relay near-real-time information on water usage, pressure variations, leak events, and usage patterns between smart meters and the utility.

• 15 Years Of Proven Reliability: How A South Florida Utility Standardized On Beck Actuators

  Discover how a major water utility transformed its operations by standardizing its flow control infrastructure, virtually eliminating emergency maintenance costs and shrinking spare parts inventory over fifteen years of continuous, demanding field service.

• Why Smart Valves Are About To Redefine Water Infrastructure

  For years, water metering followed a predictable path: manual reads, AMR, AMI, more visibility, more data. But utilities are now entering a different operational reality. Visibility alone no longer protects infrastructure.
• How Cedar Hills Turned Metering Data Into A Conservation Tool

  As water scarcity increases, smart metering infrastructure bridges the gap between utilities and consumers. Providing residents with near real-time consumption data and automated leak alerts drives immediate conservation, slashing outdoor water waste while protecting critical resources.

• Turning Continuous Acoustic Data Into Measurable Water Savings

  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.

• Loudoun County Deploys Acoustic Leak Detection & Recoups Cost With Savings In NRW

  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.

• 73 Million Starts, Zero Maintenance: City Of Frederick Demonstrates Long-Term Reliability Of Beck Actuators

  Continuous valve modulation often causes premature motor burnout in critical water infrastructure. Adopting a 100% duty cycle motor design eliminates repetitive maintenance, ensuring precise process control and long-term system reliability.
