The White House Utility District (WHUD) in Tennessee uses AVEVA PI System to track down leaks by isolating sections of pipeline, while also identifying pressure differentials which impact customers and cause equipment degradation. By implementing AVEVA PI System, WHUD saved US $2M and reduced customer service calls.
“I see the flows in our district metered areas (DMAs) every morning and can react quickly. We’re not just waiting on a leak to be reported, we see it in the data.”
Josh Gregory, Water Loss Analyst, White House Utility District
