Departamento Municipal de Água e Esgotos to
benefit from Itron technology to monitor C&I customers
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and
services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, announced today that Departamento Municipal de Água e
Esgotos (DMAE), water provider to 1.5 million residents in Porto
Alegre, Brazil, has signed a contract with Itron. DMAE will take
advantage of Itron’s managed services offering to run, manage and
maintain Itron’s commercial & industrial (C&I) water
monitoring solution, including 3,000 WaterMind supervision
analyzers. The solution will help the utility improve the
efficiency of its operations and reduce non-revenue water.
Itron’s team of experts will operate the monitoring solution,
which turns meter information into intelligence that DMAE can use
to protect its revenue, improve operational efficiency and enhance
the satisfaction level of C&I customers. The solution remotely
monitors the daily consumption patterns of C&I customers and
immediately detects events such as leaks, meter blockages,
backflow, excessive consumption or significant pressure drop. The
project will start by automating the process of reading DMAE
meters. As a part of the contract, Itron will manage the solution
for five years, including two years of installation.
“Itron water monitoring offers an advanced, yet simple way to
obtain the data that will help DMAE protect its revenue and manage
water more intelligently, while encouraging large consumers to be
wiser about their use,” said Samuel Lee, Itron vice president of
sales, marketing and solutions for Water in Latin America. “With
greater intelligence comes greater ability to effectively manage
water resources. This is how our technology and services are
helping DMAE create a more resourceful world.”
