We understand your vital role in delivering clean water to communities while maintaining operational efficiency is a dynamic process. Over $9 billion of non-revenue water (NRW) is lost annually in the US, representing up to 30% of our treated water. At Fluid Conservation Systems, we help you identify, address and mitigate your non-revenue water’s financial and environmental implications of your non-revenue water.
Water loss in a distribution system can be categorized into two types of losses. Apparent losses are due to unauthorized usage, data handling errors and metering inaccuracies. Real losses are primarily due to pipe leaks, overflowing storage tanks and service connections.
Water loss can lead to significant impacts for municipalities and utility companies. Some of the most common effects include:
Physical inspections and other traditional leak detection methods can be time-consuming, labor-intensive and often ineffective. Identifying leaks buried underground can be particularly challenging, requiring excavation and service disruption. These limitations can make it difficult for municipalities to pinpoint leaks efficiently and prioritize repairs.
Fluid Conservation offers a comprehensive suite of advanced leak detection solutions specifically designed to address the needs of municipalities. These innovative technologies provide a more efficient and accurate approach to locating leaks, minimizing disruptions and optimizing water management strategies:
