Six municipal water utilities out of ten fall short of their network efficiency targets. Yet they invest, they do the work and they track their indicators. The problem lies elsewhere: knowing that I am losing water does not yet tell me where I am losing it.
That is the starting point of this webinar organised by Leakmited with Techni.Cité and La Gazette des communes, on Thursday 4 June from 11am to 11.45am.
Three speakers: Geneviève Morvan, water cycle director at the Communauté Lesneven Côte des Légendes, Hubert Baya Toda, founder of Leakmited, and David Colon, founder of Verdeo.
The subject: taking leak detection out of the logic of an unavoidable cost and making it a measurable performance lever.
On the Leakmited side, the question is where to look. Analysis of network data points teams towards the most likely sections, instead of sending them along kilometres of pipe at random.
On the Verdeo side, the question is how to prove it. A leak detection campaign produces interventions, repairs, cubic metres saved. Those results still have to be reported, linked to their supporting evidence, and presented to an inter-municipal council or to an Agence de l'eau (river basin water agency) without three weeks spent piecing the record back together.
A utility that can demonstrate its efficiency gain finds it easier to obtain funding for the next campaign. That is the whole point of moving from an unavoidable cost to a measurable lever.
Leakmited is one of Verdeo's water sector partners.
