WATER METER MONITORING SYSTEM

“FIND THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE BILL ARRIVES” COST OF WATER LOSS / LEAKAGE

A- Cost of water/sewer + B- Locate the source + C- Repair = Total Cost A—Cost of water/sewer. Water loss/leakage through your master meter that runs for months can be the most significant cost compared to locating / repairing the problem. Typically the loss/leakage starts at a relatively small rate, but increases over time such that it is not noticed when the bill arrives. The water loss/leakage rate will continuously increases until it is located and fixed. An example of water cost based on City of Columbus rates is shown below: B— Locating the source. Finding the source is many times half the battle. Locating and pinpointing the leak location first can save a significant amount of time & expense compared to random digging. C—Repair. This is a fixed cost, however if the leak continues long term, can cause damage to building foundations, etc. Water loss/leakage is a constant, customer usage is not. Monitoring the flow meter to find the minimum flow in the middle of the night allows us to determine if you have a water loss/leak in your system. We monitor the meter 24/7 to find that minimum flow and provide you this information online with actual flow and dollar cost.

The graph below shows a water loss that went on for 3 days. The online monitoring system enabled one to know there was a problem and correct the problem before the water/sewer bill arrived.
