Itron to provide solutions to Moldova utility to boost water efficiency

US-based Itron has secured a contract from Moldova water utility Floresti Communal Services for the deployment of Water Operations Management (WOM) solution, wide area low-power network and water meters to help conserve water.

These solutions will also help the utility to improve operational visibility, pressure management, data analysis and meter data management.

Equipped with Everblu Cyble Enhanced modules for fixed network data collection, Itron’s water meters will help Floresti Communal Services to streamline meter reading and collect hourly water consumption data.

Due to access to water intelligence and tampering alarms, the utility is expected to be better positioned to reduce water loss.

The WOM solution provides Operational Visibility, Leak Management and Advanced Pressure Management,  which will help Floresti Communal Services to manage, maintain and extend its water infrastructure whilst reducing non-revenue water (NRW) loss.

Floresti Communal Services director Eugeniu Barbalat said: “Our mission is to ensure quality water delivery to all of our customers, and we are committed to modernizing and maintaining our operations. By implementing Itron’s technology, we will be able to improve operational efficiency while reducing NRW loss.”

Itron senior vice president of outcomes Don Reeves said: “At Itron, we are focused on delivering measurable results and value-based outcomes to address and reduce water loss, and we look forward to collaborating with Floresti Communal Services. With our water solutions, the utility will be equipped to protect its water supply by closely monitoring its system and accurately measuring consumption to conserve its precious water resources.”
