Illegal or unauthorised water extractions are serious criminal offences, leading to significant financial costs for utilities due to non-revenue water losses and wasted manpower. Untrained individuals extracting water illegally are at risk of damaging infrastructure and potentially creating transient surges that can cause breaks leading to water discoloration and contamination. Our advanced smart water networks are designed to detect unauthorized water theft and pinpoint the location immediately. With rising water prices and increasing water scarcity driven by extreme weather events, the problem of illegal water extraction is only expected to escalate.
Tracing water theft
Quickly identify illegal or unauthorised water extractions
A smart water network detects water theft with minimal resource
A smart water network allows you to detect water theft across your entire network, leaving your team to focus on other priorities. Upgrading to our advanced system provides actionable insights powered by SmartCap and SmartPressure sensors across your infrastructure. Data is streamed in real-time to the Streamline online portal, sending instant alerts and pinpointing unauthorized extractions. This enables you to rapidly deploy technicians for investigation and enforcement. Reducing the time between occurrence and action helps deter illegal usage and reduces non-revenue water losses.
