Abstract

Key Takeaways: Hamilton, Ont., has an older, elaborate water distribution system, with high levels of nonrevenue water (NRW). The city was determined to reduce its NRW, so it conducted a leak detection pilot study to explore advanced technologies that could improve detection efforts. With a 95.6% accuracy rate from the pilot test results, the city implemented a full‐scale, proactive leak detection program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
