Departamento Municipal de Água e Esgotos to benefit from Itron
technology to monitor C&I customers
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and services
company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and water, announced
today that Departamento Municipal de Água e Esgotos (DMAE), water
provider to 1.5 million residents in Porto Alegre, Brazil, has signed a
contract with Itron. DMAE will take advantage of Itron's managed
services offering to run, manage and maintain Itron's commercial &
industrial (C&I) water monitoring solution, including 3,000 WaterMind
supervision analyzers. The solution will help the utility improve the
efficiency of its operations and reduce non-revenue water.
Itron's team of experts will operate the monitoring solution, which
turns meter information into intelligence that DMAE can use to protect
its revenue, improve operational efficiency and enhance the satisfaction
level of C&I customers. The solution remotely monitors the daily
consumption patterns of C&I customers and immediately detects events
such as leaks, meter blockages, backflow, excessive consumption or
significant pressure drop. The project will start by automating the
process of reading DMAE meters. As a part of the contract, Itron will
manage the solution for five years, including two years of installation.
"Itron water monitoring offers an advanced, yet simple way to obtain the
data that will help DMAE protect its revenue and manage water more
intelligently, while encouraging large consumers to be wiser about their
use," said Samuel Lee, Itron vice president of sales, marketing and
solutions for Water in Latin America. "With greater intelligence comes
greater ability to effectively manage water resources. This is how our
technology and services are helping DMAE create a more resourceful
world."
