The digitization of water services enables a shift from reactive management to a proactive strategy. In Tuscany, the operator GAIA relies on remote meter reading and hourly data analysis to identify, locate, and reduce water losses (NRW), while improving operational efficiency and revenue security.
Identification and precise location of water losses using hourly data
For GAIA, reducing non-revenue water (NRW) began with a simple goal: to make the network “visible”. The shift from four readings per year to hourly data was a game-changer. This level of granularity allows for faster identification of consumption anomalies, detection of leaks, and better targeting of field actions.
Data-driven management to secure revenue
The deployment of 70,000 HYDRUS smart meters, combined with mioty® technology, provides robust IoT connectivity and reliable data transmission. This infrastructure enables detailed analysis of meter data flows and more precise insights into consumption patterns, enhancing transparency and billing accuracy.
Discover how real-time leak detection enables GAIA to secure its revenue and optimize its resources:
Sustainably optimizing network efficiency with WLM software
Identifying losses is the first step; reducing them sustainably requires software intelligence capable of prioritizing interventions. With Water Loss Management (WLM) software, GAIA benefits from decision support for water supply services.
Artificial intelligence for maintenance
By analyzing water networks, the system cross-references water meter data to generate targeted alerts. This approach improves operational efficiency by directing teams to the most critical areas and predicting the risk of breaks, thereby shifting maintenance from a reactive to a proactive strategy.
Meet your regulatory and sustainability goals
Reducing water loss is not just a financial issue; it is also essential for meeting increasingly stringent environmental and regulatory requirements. Through remote meter reading, reliable IoT connectivity, and software-driven management, water utilities can reduce losses, optimize maintenance interventions, and enhance overall network performance.
