AWWOA 50th Annual Seminar

Current methods are falling short in addressing non-revenue water (NRW) reduction in Canada, where water conservation, operational efficiency, and accurate billing are critical priorities. This session will highlight success stories from real-world utilities that have embraced integrated Acoustic Leak Detection (ALD) technology to monitor and alert to distribution side leakage with precision.
By accelerating leak detection and improving accuracy, these utilities have significantly reduced their cost per identified leak and tackled low-hanging opportunities to reduce their water loss. Advanced water meter technology is proving to be a game-changer, enabling utilities to take meaningful strides toward sustainable water management.
Attendees will gain actionable insights and strategies to adopt these innovative solutions, transforming water distribution systems into models of environmental responsibility and operational excellence. Moreover, these advancements can help utilities stabilize their infrastructure, preventing catastrophic water main breaks and staying out of unwanted headlines. This presentation underscores the tangible benefits of integrating cutting-edge technologies, making a compelling case for sustainability-driven modernization.
