(Click to Tweet) – As utilities around the world seek to improve water utilization and help their customers become smarter about water usage, Sensus recognizes World Water Day as an essential opportunity to deliver on these goals. A global provider of smart water systems—comprised of advanced metering technology, software and the FlexNet® communication network—Sensus works with customers to enhance their water management efforts.
Improved leak detection and pressure management systems are proven ways for utilities to conserve water resources, reducing leaks by five percent and pipe bursts by 10 percent, according to a Sensus research study titled “Water 20/20: Bringing Smart Water Networks Into Focus.” Utilities leveraging Sensus smart water technologies go from reactive to proactive, identifying leaks and mitigating pressure issues before they lead to significant water loss. Sensus solutions also help utilities improve service by enabling customers to adjust and eliminate unwanted behaviors while lowering their costs.
Recent examples of Sensus smart water system successes include:
- The City of Fountain Valley, California exceeded its lofty goal of reducing overall water use by more than 20 percent.
- Nashville Metro Water Services in Nashville, Tennessee gained greater insight into water use and proactively notified customers of leaks.
