WHUD’s PROGRAM

A N O V E R V I E W O F

THE CHALLENGE

• Used flows from SCADA: 7 metering

zones to track water loss progress

zones were too large

• RURAL: too much area and pipe to

effectively monitor

• High Non-Revenue Water ~ 30% in 2014

• Goal is NRW target of 15%

• Leverage SCADA & ESRI

17

WHUD’s PROGRAM

A N O V E R V I E W O F

THE SOLUTION

• Establishment of 30 DMAs in 2

Phases

• Incorporation into GIS system

• 76 new insertion meters

• OSIsoft PI System integration

• Data into Esri

18

WHUD’s PROGRAM

A N O V E R V I E W O F

MT. OLIVET LEAK

• This DMA zone had 25 GPM more

than expected for MNF

• Zone cut into Sub DMAs to

narrow leak search

• Underground leak proven at 80

GPM NO VISIBLE WATER

• Install 1 isolation valve to narrow

even further

• This is just ONE leak!

• 80gpm x $0.00738/gal =

$0.5904/min or $306,063/year

Integrated Water Loss Identification System

White House Utility District

1) 600 sq mile, mostly rural, service area in Tennessee

2) Striving to reduce non-revenue water losses

Large geography made manual leak surveys impractical

Automate monitoring with Matchpoint metering

Automate KPI’s with PI

Intuitive interface with ArcGIS

Real-time, enterprise-wide view of identified leaks

• The entire data flow was automated and presented so that anyone can understand when and where leaks need to be fixed

• $300k/yr leak found in first week

• Reduced system demand

• Deferring new $20M plant by 11

years, saving $600k/yr interest

• Data that was available was in multiple systems

• Data had to be compiled from multiple systems

• Only an expert could do the job
