Utility Companies Can Tackle Non-Revenue Water Loss

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 are here to help you identify, address and mitigate your non-revenue water’s financial and environmental implications.

The Impact of Water Loss on Utility Companies

Water loss can lead to significant impacts for utility companies. Some of the most common effects include:

  • Revenue loss: Unaccounted-for water means uncollected revenue.
  • Operational costs: Locating and repairing leaks can be costly.
  • Environmental sustainability: Wasted water strains natural resources.
  • Customer perception: Do the customers see the value of what they pay for?

Measuring and Monitoring Non-Revenue Water

Do you know how much water your municipality is losing? Enter your pipe diameter and cost per gallon into our water calculator and discover the financial impact.

Our water calculator may have revealed a larger loss than you were prepared to confront. Given the impact of these losses, water service leak detection is essential. Use our PermaNET SU to identify and fix leaks promptly. With our PermaNet SU, you can:

  • Partner with us: Through our Pilot Leak Detection Program, you can improve your city’s water leak detection for as little as $100 per acoustic data logger, plus field installation costs. 
  • Access analytics: With DataGate 3, you can download sound bites and data analytics to update NRW management and enhance efficiency.
  • Gain funding: Prioritize maintenance and upgrades through the EPA’s BABA program that can fund your project.
  • Improve customer engagement: Educate customers on the importance of water leak detection and its environmental impact.

Real-Life Success Stories

Explore case studies from utility companies that have successfully reduced NRW rates, showcasing both their challenges and the results they achieved. For example, Belle Vernon Municipal Authority continues to operate with infrastructure with portions that date back over 100 years. Before solutions from FCS, the authority faced NRW loss as high as 50%. With the help of various technologies, they improved their water utility service with leak detection. 

Addressing NRW loss can secure substantial financial savings, increase environmental sustainability and strengthen your company’s reputation. It’s not just a challenge — it’s an opportunity to thrive and better serve your communities and the environment.
