A metering platform that ingests 1.2 million readings a day and finds a leak in hours instead of a billing cycle.
Readings were collected monthly by van. Leaks were discovered when a resident complained or a bill tripled, and the network operator had no way to distinguish a burst pipe from a hot summer.
- 01
Ingest first, model second
A pipeline built for millions of daily readings with gap handling and back-dated corrections, because real meters go offline and lie.
- 02
Anomalies against a baseline
Consumption is compared to each meter's own seasonal pattern, so an alert means something changed rather than that it is August.
- 03
Consumption people understand
A resident portal that shows usage in cost, compares it to similar homes and explains a spike in plain language.
Non-revenue water fell meaningfully in the first year, and the field team is dispatched by evidence instead of by complaint.
