Real water losses
Real water losses on the distribution system are caused by leaks on water mains and at device connections or by tank overflows. Identifying these leaks early can help utilities conserve water and meet regulatory requirements. Collecting data from sensors or monitoring points located throughout the distribution system improves the efficacy of AMI solutions.
- Collect time-synced acoustic data and correlate it at your office, providing visual identification of probable leak locations.
- Use single sign-on to keep performance, battery life, network health, and other vital alerts and reports at your fingertips.
