2. Latest Thinking On Leakage
Leakage Targets
With an increasing number of utilities
across the world reaching their leakage
targets - or reducing leakage to an
acceptable level, is the economic level of
leakage (ELL) still relevant?
Is it time to challenge perceptions and
attitudes? Do companies now need to look
at going below their ELL and considering
the appropriate level of leakage for each
company?
Are we looking in the wrong place for
leakage, and is customer-side leakage the
issue to concentrate on now?
The Changing Face Of Regulation
Are the regulators becoming less
concerned about leakage targets and how
do they move leakage beyond targets and
enforcement?
Is it time to place more emphasis on
customer perceptions, and how quickly
water companies find and fix leakage?
Investing For Zero Leakage
With smart systems, smart sensors and
software for predicting and continuously
monitoring leakage – and the potential
for better pipe material and installation
technologies, is ‘zero leakage’ becoming
less of a dream and more of a reality?
Should we now focus on leak prevention,
and reducing background losses - instead
of burst repair?
Are water utilities investing sufficiently in
smart technologies and best practices to
move them towards zero leakage?
‘Calming’ The Network
With the increasing use of ‘smart’ sensor
technology to receive and manage data
from all parts of the network faster and
more efficiently, water companies are
moving towards ‘calm’ networks – setting
valve operations, pumping routines and
pressure management systems to operate
at the optimum level – and to reduce
pressure transients and stress in the pipe
network
Change Management
Irish Water has recently been formed by
the amalgamation of 34 water companies
and local councils. Customers are not used
to paying for water, and leakage levels
are twice those of UK water companies.
Irish Water faces a huge challenge,
communicating with customers and
changing their perceptions, introducing
a company-wide customer metering
programme, and reducing leakage to
an acceptable level. Speakers from Irish
Water and its regulator will expand on the
challenges, and what they are doing to
address them
Customers want security of supply at
no extra cost. Can we optimise customer
pattern of water use, by means of
incentives, to minimise customer energy/
water costs and help the company
manage demand and interpret night flows
better?Smart Asset Management
Accurate records of underground assets
are crucial for driving down leakage to
lower levels. This means faster awareness
times - identifying leaks as they propagate,
but how quickly can a water utility become
aware of a leak?
‘Active Leakage Management’ also
means ‘Active Network Management’,
and leakage managers are multi-tasking
as ‘network managers’, reflecting the
dynamic between asset knowledge and
leak detection
Handling ‘Big Data’
There has been an evolution in sensors
and communication systems for flow
and pressure management - and other
parameters in the network such as weather
data, customer use patterns etc
If a water utility continuously receives
‘smart’ information and data from the
network, how does it cope with all this ‘big
data’ coming in? And how does it handle
and interpret the data to collate it into an
end result?
Smart water metering will undoubtedly
be a part of any enhanced sensor network.
But how will smart metering be utilised to
solve company specific problems?
Plastic Pipes
Polyethylene (PE) is the pipe material ‘to
achieve a leak free network’, but we hear
about burst and leaks caused by failures at
joint and service connections
But what is the scale of the problem, and
can joint failures be eliminated?
Does the problem lie not with the pipe
laying and jointing technique but with
quality control and supervision?

11.35 WHERE DO WE GO WITH LEAKAGE? IS IT TIME TO
TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT ELL - AND TO CHALLENGE
PERCEPTIONS AND ATTITUDES?
• How well do we understand leakage?
• Is it time to challenge ELL and its key components?
• Background leakage/unavoidable losses are a considerable part
of ELL - can we quantify them more accurately?
• Should we focus on the appropriate level of leakage, considering
other drivers - like customers and politicians?
• Are we looking in the wrong place for leakage - how significant
are customer side losses?
StuartTrow,LeakageReviewer,WaterIndustry
CommissionForScotland,UK
11.55 Question Answer Session
ACHIEVING ZERO LEAKAGE
COMPANIES THAT HAVE ALMOST SUCCEEDED
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THEM?
With smart systems, smart sensors and software for predicting
and continuously monitoring leakage, we have the potential for
becoming aware of leaks more quickly and reducing leak run time.
We also have the potential for better pipe material and installation
technologies - should we now focus on leak prevention - and reducing
background losses - as well as repairing bursts?
And is ‘zero leakage’ becoming less of a dream and more of a
reality? Companies like Tokyo Waterworks Bureau, Vitens in the
Netherlands and PUB Singapore are in low single figures - what
are they doing to achieve this? Is it a case of ‘money no object’ to
achieve zero leakage?
12.05 JAPAN CASE STUDY - AT TOKYO WATERWORKS
LEAKAGE HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 3%. WHAT CAN WE LEARN
FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE?
Tokyo Waterworks is one of the biggest water utilites in the world.
It has correspondingly ‘big challenges’, including source water
quality and ageing infrastructure, heightened by a declining
population, and, eventually, declining income, workforce and
investment in the infrastructure.
However, the utility has 3.0% leakage, one of the lowest figures in
the world.
This has been achieved by investing in planned replacement of
ageing infrastructure - but also by effective leakage prevention,
staff training and technology development. What can other water
utilities learn from the Tokyo Waterworks ‘near zero leakage’
experience?

12.25 THE VITENS INNOVATION PLAYGROUND - TESTING
NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR REDUCING LEAK AWARENESS
TIME
Vitens NV, the largest water company in the Netherlands, set a
goal to explore and invest in the development of intelligent water
supply:
• Testing new monitoring technologies, sensors and ICT solutions
• Using social media like Twitter and Facebook for fast leak
response strategies
• Big data analysis that uses internal and external data sources
• Proactive leak awareness using smart algorithms and smart ICT
ErikDriessen,InnovationManager,Vitens,
Netherlands
12.45 CAN WE EVER ACHIEVE ZERO LEAKAGE? WHAT
MEASURES SHOULD WE BE PUTTING IN PLACE TO REACH
ZERO LEAKAGE BY 2050?
• How will the UK Water Industry work towards achieving zero
leakage by 2050?
• Is it a question of laying leak-free new networks, being aware of
leakage immediately it happens (smart monitoring) and fixing the
leak immediately (in-pipe repair technology)?
• Or should we be finding and fixing smaller leaks and background
leakage?

NETWORK OPTIMISATION
CALM NETWORKS
With the increasing use of ‘smart’ sensor
technology to receive and manage data from
all parts of the network faster and more efficiently,
water companies are moving towards ‘calm’ networks. All valve
operations, pumping routines and pressure management systems
are set to operate at the optimum level for energy efficiency,
pumping efficiency and pressure management, including the
monitoring and elimination of pressure transients by high speed
continuous pressure transient measurement
14.30 ITALY CASE STUDY: TEA MANTOVA - UTILITY WIDE
IMPLEMENTATION OF CALM NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Calming the network has been progressively implemented in
Mantova water utility:
• Analysis of the water network by means of calibrated
mathematical models
• Redesign and progressive optimisation of pressure management
areas and creation of DMAs
• Advanced pressure management by the installation of PRVs and/
or variable frequency drives for pumping
The implementation of decision support systems connected to
SCADA allowing continuous real time monitoring of the level
of losses, immediate identification of new bursts and provides
performance indicators for efficient operation and management

FOR IMPLEMENTING AUTOMATED PRESSURE MANAGEMENT
TO REDUCE TRANSIENTS AND BURSTS IN A FRAGILE
NETWORK
Bahamas WSC is implementing a long-term programme (10 years)
to significantly reduce water losses, the major cause of system
inefficiency:
• A new automated pressure control system has reduced pressure
transients and has eliminated the need for cutbacks to conserve
water
• The achievement of 24/7 service is a key step in connecting more
people to the existing water supply network with improved water
service
• A SCADA and data management system is being installed
• 25% of service pipes have been replaced, and the impact on
burst rate has been reduced from 70/1000m/year to less than
30/1000m/year

MANAGEMENT - BREAKING AWAY FROM TRADITIONAL DMA
DESIGN
Can we improve on the traditional way we design District Metered
Areas (DMAs) to increase resilience?
A DMA management programme (DMAv2) developed by Bristol
Water, Imperial College and Cla-val consists of:
• Open DMAs, with boundary valves closed at night and open
during the day
• DMA boundary valves replaced by PRVs and - combined with high

SMART ASSET MANAGEMENT
IDENTIFYING, RECORDING
MANAGING UNDERGROUND ASSETS
Accurate records of underground assets are crucial
for driving down leakage to lower levels. This
means faster awareness times - identifying leaks as they
propagate - but how quickly can you become aware of a leak?
‘Active Leakage Management’ also means ‘Active Network
Management’ - and leakage managers are multi-tasking as
‘network managers’, reflecting the dynamic between asset
knowledge and leak detection.
16.30 SMART ASSET MANAGEMENT - MAKING THE
UNDERGROUND VISIBLE
Accurate records are crucial for driving down leakage to lower
levels but all too often we focus on condition assessment
techniques at the expense of a fundamental understanding of our
assets. The latest techniques available today introduce ‘smart’
techniques to the management of buried assets, both today and
into the future. But when do things get ‘smart’?
• Linking physical points in the ground to digital points in a system
• Automatic data collection in the street
• When “data” becomes “information”
• Using information to influence customer behaviour
• Operating in a Smart environment

BREAKFAST BRIEFING
07.45 – 08.50 THE VALUE OF NETWORK DATA IN DIAGNOSING
ASSET CONDITION
Water companies worldwide are under
increasing pressure to improve customer
service and drive down operational inefficiencies.
A key factor in achieving these objectives is the availability of high
quality network data, and the ability to interpret information to
optimise decision making.
In this presentation i2O will demonstrate how network data can
provide valuable insights into asset condition and help avoid
network issues, reducing costly repair operations and interruptions
to supply, with practical examples showing the diagnosis of flow
meter failures, network breaches, PRV failures and reservoir level
issues.

INTEGRATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT:
HANDLING ‘BIG’ DATA
There has been an evolution in sensors and communication
systems for flow and pressure management - and other
parameters in the network such as weather data, customer
use patterns etc. However, the problem facing all utilities, and
highlighted in other presentations at this conference, is:
If a water utility continuously receives ‘smart’ information and data
from the network, how does it cope with all this ‘big data’ coming
in? And how does it handle and interpret the data to collate it into
an end result?
Smart water metering will undoubtedly be a part of any enhanced
sensor network. But how will smart metering be utilised to solve
company specific problems?
10.40 ENABLING SMARTER REMOTE READING
The session will provide an overview of Aqualogy, its vision and
approach to smart metering.
Although widely used overseas the approach remains the subject
of debate in the UK as water companies enter the new AMP period.
Companies are investing in various levels of metering and there
are differing views on smart networks, what this means, and how
smart networks can be implemented. The presentation will outline
Aqualogy’s vision of smart networks - and existing solutions. It will
cover not only the infrastructure required for autonomous, long-
range networks but also some of the software solutions that are
required to release the benefits of this journey

11.00 UK CASE STUDY: SUTTON AND EAST SURREY WATER.
HANDLING ‘BIG’ DATA - A VISION FOR NETWORKS OF THE
FUTURE
Sutton East Surrey Water (SESW) is developing a Smart Network
built on four platforms
• 1. Enhanced Sensor Network: For greater sensor density and
variety
• 2. Enhanced Communication: The use of long range radio to
provide information backhaul
• 3. Enhanced Data Processing: The use of big data techniques to
understand the information
• 4. Enhanced Display: The use of innovative mapping solutions to
display information
SESW is also working towards using smart meters to optimise
customer demand patterns by the use of tariffs and incentives.
This will potentially minimise customer energy/water costs, help
the company manage demand and to better interpret night flows.

16.25 Question Answer Session
PLASTIC PIPES PANEL
Can we ‘design out’ leakage from pipe networks? We have new
plastic pipe materials but we still have to make joints and service
connections - and there are failures. But what is the extent of these
failures and what can be done to minimise them? Are the problems
exacerbated by the pricing structure in a competitive market?
Is the answer to extend the workforce and skill base, improve
pipe laying and jointing techniques, provide more training and
certification and have better quality control and supervision?
