What's Happening?
The iHydrant Plus™ is a new hydrant-based water system intelligence platform designed to help water utilities in the U.S. and Canada manage water loss more effectively. By integrating acoustic readings, pressure data, and machine learning, the platform provides
a comprehensive view of system activity, allowing utilities to identify early indicators of water loss before they escalate into costly issues. This approach contrasts with traditional single-source readings, offering a more layered and detailed understanding of water system dynamics without disrupting normal hydrant service.
Why It's Important?
Water loss is a significant issue for utilities, leading to increased operational costs and resource wastage. The iHydrant Plus™ platform addresses this by providing a proactive tool for identifying and managing potential water loss, which can help utilities reduce costs and improve service reliability. This is particularly important in the context of increasing water scarcity and the need for sustainable resource management. By enabling more informed decision-making, the platform supports utilities in maintaining infrastructure integrity and optimizing resource use.
