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  • Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks.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.

DRINKING WATER DISTRIBUTION SOLUTIONS

  • LeakFX

    LeakFX is a data analysis tool for water utilities to quickly summarize, categorize, and prioritize suspected water leaks in their distribution system.  This new tool saves water utilities hours of individual logger analysis every day.  Instead of selecting logger by logger to view leak information, LeakFX combines all suspected leaks in one streamlined report.

  • iPERL®+ Water Meters

    iPERL+ redefines water metering, offering an integrated solution that not only ensures seamless system compatibility but also maintains unmatched accuracy in water usage measurement for your utility. With enhanced data logging capabilities and a choice between polymer and metal flow tube casings, iPERL+ is tailored to meet the unique needs of your utility.

  • ADMAG AXG Magnetic Flow Meters

    The new ADMAG Total Insight (TI) AXG®  is an electromagnetic flow meter featuring enhanced settings for customized setups, pre-defined trend views, and multiple configuration sets for fast changeover through micro SD card. 

  • e-XC Single Stage, Double Suction Centrifugal Pumps

    With more models and more material options, the e-XC single stage, double suction, centrifugal pump offers a broader hydraulic range and higher efficiency than our previous models. Built on a legacy of pump innovation, the e-XC replaces the AC Series 8100, 8300 and 9100 pump range. With flow rates exceeding 57,000 gpm, it can easily handle medium and large capacity systems and higher head. Manage extra-large applications with Xylem’s A-C Custom pump range.

  • Aquavar SOLO 2

    The SOLO 2 provides consistent water pressure with all the tried-and-true features of the SOLO plus innovative upgrades.

  • HbMAG Magnetic Flow Meter Conservation, operational efficiency and versatility are important to municipalities as they look for new ways to optimize service.
