Madevo Optimizes Water Management
Water utilities are the silent guardians of our communities. We trust various water companies to ensure a constant flow of clean water. But maintaining a vast network of pipes, pumps, and treatment plants is no easy feat.
Aging infrastructure, unpredictable water usage, and hidden leaks can significantly impact efficiency and sustainability. On top of that, any contamination has to be avoided. We are hoping to help water companies with their challenging tasks. In this post, we are going to explore how Madevo can be a key player in your operations.
One such utility, let’s call them “Utility X,” was experiencing a perfect storm of problems:
They rely on a network of pipes installed decades ago, and recent budget cuts have limited maintenance. Here’s where things get messy (literally):
- Silent Leaks: Water pressure has inexplicably dropped in a specific district. Traditional leak detection methods haven’t pinpointed the source. Millions of gallons of treated water are likely disappearing underground, unseen, and unaccounted for. Utility X’s treatment facility is operating at full capacity and its resources are being depleted by these hidden leaks.
- Mysterious Contamination: Residents in another area have reported a strange taste and odor in their tap water. Initial tests haven’t revealed a cause, but public concern is mounting. Utility X is scrambling to identify the contaminant and its source before it spreads or poses a health risk.
- Treatment Plant Overload: With the hidden leak-straining resources and summer approaching, Utility X’s aging treatment plant is nearing its limit. They’re worried they won’t be able to meet peak demand, potentially forcing restrictions on water use during the hottest months.
Utility X is facing a triple threat: leaks, contamination, and overwhelmed infrastructure. This perfect storm could lead to service disruptions, frustrated residents, and potential health concerns. They need to find an urgent solution that can help them identify problems proactively. This is where Madevo can step in and become a game-changer for Utility X.f
Utility X most certainly has a network of sensors carefully positioned across its infrastructure. These sensors may include:
Flow meters continuously monitor water flow rates throughout the distribution system.- Pressure sensors monitor water pressure fluctuations, which may reveal leaks or blockages.
- Water quality sensors examine water composition for symptoms of pollution, such as changes in chlorine, pH, or turbidity.
Using these sensors, which generate data continuously, Madevo performs advanced analysis.
We can detect subtle irregularities in flow rates and pressure data that could be easily missed. This way, we can find the exact leak location and reduce wasted water. Madevo can assess minute changes in quality data, identifying the source of contamination considerably more quickly than standard methods.
This allows Utility X to isolate the problem and prevent its spread, protecting public health. We can optimize treatment plant operations by assessing previous water usage data and forecasting future demands. We determine changes to chemical dosing and operations to ensure they can handle peak summer demand.
