Olea Edge Analytics Launches Pilot Program with Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District for Data-Driven Analysis of Water Loss
February 22, 2023
AUSTIN, Texas & LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. — Olea Edge Analytics™, a provider of intelligent solutions and services for the water utility industry, today announced the launch of a pilot program to deploy smart technology to 25 large commercial meters in California’s Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) service area.
Olea’s Meter Health Analytics (MHA) solution uses AI technology to provide previously unattainable insights into the performance of commercial and industrial water meters, which can have an outsized impact on both water loss and utility revenue.
A 2018 study found that non-revenue water — water that has been produced but is "lost" before it reaches the customer — comprised 30% of water system input volumes worldwide. The total cost of such losses for utilities can be up to $39 billion per year.
