Water utilities across the globe are under increasing pressure due to various challenges, including aging infrastructure, climate disruption and population growth. Aging infrastructure remains a top concern, as outdated and broken pipes cause nearly one third of delivered water to never get billed.¹ The impacts of climate disruption exacerbate these issues with unpredictable weather patterns including prolonged droughts in some areas and excessive rainfall in others, all of which strain resources and infrastructure. In addition, growing population and urbanization place increasing demands on water providers and their distribution systems.

While these challenges are significant, they are not insurmountable. Water utilities need to act quickly to adopt technologies that are designed with these challenges in mind. That’s where Itron’s Intelis™ wSource™ water meter comes in.
