Small and mid-sized utilities provide clean water to about 45% of the United States, but more than 47,000 utilities are unable to access advanced technology due to cost constraints, complexity, and availability of resources, limiting their options to improve operational efficiencies and extend the life of aging assets. Subeca’s simple-to-use IoT solution provides real-time monitoring and data analytics capabilities, empowering utilities to collect and analyze data from diverse sources, thereby improving water consumption management, operational management, and regulatory compliance. Subeca helps utilities and water companies achieve 30-70% cost savings and enables over 500B gallons of non-revenue water savings annually in the United States.

🤖 SmartTerra is Using AI to Reduce Non-Revenue Water In 2022, Indonesia’s non-revenue water (NRW) reached approximately 34% – exceeding the national target of 20%. As a result, public utilities are losing revenue needed to cover the costs of clean water production and distribution. With the support of IH2O’s Water Innovation Pilot Fund, SmartTerra is now helping two PDAMs in Indonesia continuously localize leaky pipes and faulty meters to lower water losses and increase their financial resilience. IH2O is exploring an expanded phase for up to 2 new PDAMs in Indonesia with SmartTerra’s solution in 2025.
