Leak Detection

  • On average, 12% of household

water use is lost to leaks

  • Often, the first sign of a problem

is an abnormally high water bill

Access to the Info

  • Water bills often come once a

month or bi-monthly

  • Bills provided in units not

typically understood by customers (e.g. ccfs)

What’s the challenge?

  • Monitors the register on the

meter

  • Transmits signal to customer
  • Installed on the water supply

line to monitor flow and send leak alerts
