We look forward to benefit from Itron's expertise as we work to address our non-revenue water," said Marcos Araújo, managing director of utilities at Aegea São Paulo, group of Águas de Matão.

while also preventing lost revenue. Our smart water solution will give
Águas de Matão great visibility into its operations so it can
proactively manage non-revenue water," said
