WATER LOSS AND LEAK DETECTION RESOURCES

• 70,000 Gallons Per Sensor: The Water You're Treating Just To Throw Away

  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.

• Six Billion Gallons Down The Drain, Literally

  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.

• 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.

• The Expanding Role Of High‑Sensitivity Acoustic Sensing In Reducing Non‑Revenue Water

  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.

• Getting Practical About Non-Revenue Water

  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.
• Remote Water Meter Reader: How To Retrofit Existing Water Meters For Automatic Reading

  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.

• Modernizing Water Stewardship In The Desert Southwest

  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.

• Paradise Regained: How Digital Twins Saved A Bahamian Resort's Water Supply

  Island utilities face unique resource constraints and infrastructure risks. Implementing digital twins provides the real-time visibility needed to reduce water loss, simulate emergency scenarios, and optimize system performance to ensure long-term operational resilience.

• Hidden Risks Beneath The Surface: Why Transmission Main Leak Monitoring Matters

  Water utilities can significantly reduce revenue loss by integrating acoustic leak detection, pipe condition assessments, and automated pressure management. This proactive approach identifies hidden infrastructure weaknesses, prevents catastrophic bursts, and optimizes operational efficiency for long-term sustainability.
