United Water Selects Smart Water Network Solution

United Water Selects Sensus Technology for Services-Based Smart Water Network Solution

Sensus is deploying and managing a smart communication network forUnited Water(UW). One of the nation's largest utilities and wastewater providers, UW is a subsidiary of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, a world leader exclusively dedicated to the sustainable management of resources. The solution, which includes the Sensus FlexNet™ system, 325,000 smart endpoints andSoftware as a Service(SaaS), will help the utility provide sustainable water solutions for its New York and New Jersey customers.

United Water selected theSensus FlexNetsystem to more effectively track water use through on demand meter reads, leak identification and water theft detection, three common causes of non-revenue water.

"We value our partnership with United Water and support its dedication to customer satisfaction and the superior performance of its network," said Dan Pinney, director, Global Water Marketing at Sensus. "The FlexNet communication system easily integrates with existing systems. That means lower network maintenance and operating costs associated with deploying an extensive network infrastructure."

The Sensus FlexNet system is a long-range radio network that serves as a dedicated and secure two-way communications highway and requires less infrastructure than competing solutions. The network is a primary reason for United Water's selection, as is Sensus' superior managed service offerings.

"This project is a win-win for the environment and customers," said David Stanton, president of United Water's Regulated Business. "It will help to secure increasingly scarce resources for the region, accelerate our trend of reducing water lost from our distribution systems and improve the experience of our customers by providing greater billing accuracy."
