Building a Practical Foundation for Water Loss Management: Lessons from the Field
View DetailsReducing water loss isn’t a single technology decision, it’s a journey that requires the right foundation, informed tradeoffs, and lessons learned along the way. Many utilities still rely on customer reports or periodic surveys to identify leakage, making response largely reactive. This session focuses on how utilities are shifting toward a proactive water loss strategy by leveraging network data, analytics, and improved visibility into system behavior. Speakers will discuss how combining distribution system data—such as pressure trends, asset age, material, and failure history—enables earlier identification of emerging issues before they result in surface leaks or main breaks.
