WATER LOSS AND LEAK DETECTION RESOURCES

• 2026 Water Utility Outlook: Regulation, AI, And Resilience In The Face Of Scarcity

  Global Water Outcomes expert notes that “water utilities are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities,” citing the role of digital solutions moving forward.

• Collaborating To Execute The AI-Water Nexus

  Amazon and Xylem partner to tackle Mexico’s leaking water systems as the country balances water scarcity and a growing tech sector.

• Understanding Flow And Pressure In Municipal Water Systems

  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.

• The Hidden Cost: Uncovering The Truth About Non-Revenue Water

  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.

• Minnetonka, MN Pilots Acoustic Pipe Assessment Prior To Road Resurfacing

  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.

• How FlexNet NaaS Delivers Utility-Grade AMI Without Upfront Costs

  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. 

• Why Reducing Non-Revenue Water Matters For Water Utilities

  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). 

• Combating Water Loss: The Role Of Data In Tackling Non-Revenue Water

  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.
• Chlorine Sensors Waste An Estimated 6.1 Billion Gallons Of Non-Revenue Water Every Year

  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.

• The Hidden Cost Of Water Leaks

  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.
