Itron smart metering, leak detection and
analytics to improve management of water system
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITRI), a world-leading technology and
services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, announced today that the City of Murfreesboro, Tenn., Water
& Sewer Department (MWSD) has selected Itron’s smart water
solution to modernize its water distribution system. Provider of
water to nearly 100,000 customers, MWSD will use the solution to
more effectively and efficiently manage the delivery and use of
water through automation, leak detection and analytics.
Itron’s smart water solution enables MWSD to take advantage of
detailed meter data and analytics to support enhanced customer
service, revenue protection, consumption forecasting, flow analysis
and district metering. Utility customers will have online access to
their accounts and consumption information, helping them better
understand their water usage to reduce the amount they use and save
money before they get their bill.
With Itron’s leak detection technology, MWSD will acoustically
listen to its distribution system to pinpoint leaks, enabling MWSD
to better monitor distribution lines for leaks, helping reduce
non-revenue water, associated costs and potential service
disruptions caused by major leak events.
“The City of Murfreesboro looks forward to benefiting from
Itron’s smart water solution, which will help us enhance customer
service with early leak notification and make water management more
efficient through remote, rather than manual, meter reading,” said
Darren Gore, director of Murfreesboro Water and Sewer Department.
“The solution will enable many benefits for MWSD and our customers,
garnering a high return on investment.”
“Itron’s smart water solution will give the City of Murfreesboro
the tools it needs to more efficiently operate its system. With
detailed data and analytics, the utility will have more visibility
into its system to reduce operating expenses, improve reliability
and enhance service,” said Paula Billingham, vice president of
sales, marketing and delivery for Water North America at Itron. “We
are pleased to partner with our distributor United Systems and
Software to deliver this solution to MWSD. Together, we will help
MWSD better manage its water resources.”
