Investigation Into Reducing Non-Revenue Water Rates

San Diego, CA, June 10, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Each year in the United States billions of gallons of water are lost due to leaks and bursts in pipe systems. JD7, a North American pipe assessment company, is taking a look inside live water main systems to investigate the conditions in an attempt to reduce non-revenue water rates.

Non-revenue water (NRW) is an ongoing crisis that affects communities and cities throughout the United States. According to Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN), Chicago has the highest NRW rate in the USA with a staggering 24 percent. Memphis, New York, San Diego and San Jose were other notable cities with high rates of NRW. It is no secret the cost of replacing and repairing our infrastructure is high, which is why investigation technologies are paving the way, helping corporations prioritize and budget for renewal.

It is estimated the United States will spend $200 billion on water systems over the next 20 years. $96 billion of this is solely being used for water loss control. Preventative assessment and inspection measures can help insure less water is going to waste and less money is being spent.
