Itron scores contract in Indonesia
Itron Inc. announced last month that the City of Malang's water utility in East Java, Indonesia, selected Itron's commercial and industrial advanced metering infrastructure to effectively monitor its distribution network and improve water resource management. The solution will help the utility provider reduce non-revenue water through real-time data logging and pressure detection on each meter. The implementation of the system is scheduled to be completed in May, an Itron press release said.
The utility serves more than 800,000 people in a major urban area. Itron is providing an end-to-end solution that will monitor its distribution network at 39 district metering points to help identify potential areas of unusual consumption and network losses using enhanced leak detection capabilities, real-time consumption data and text message alerts. The solution will also help prevent clogging problems from particles in the water that could potentially stop meters from running properly, Itron said.
"We're honored that the company's confidence in Itron's solutions is expanding our relationship," Itron vice president of water marketing Gavin Van Tonder said in the press release. "Significant projects for utilities like this one continue to demonstrate that Itron delivers complete solutions that help utilities make smarter decisions about managing water and energy resources."
