Mobilise non-leak staff and unlock hidden field resource

By Paul Parr, Global Technical Director 

Drought orders make water leakage reduction a legal requirement and the pressure mounts on water companies to prove they’re actively reducing leakage. That means more scrutiny, less margin for error, and often, fewer hands on deck.

When looking for extra leak detection resource, many utilities will turn to overtime or consultants. The irony is that there are people available. Meter readers and wastewater teams are often less busy during dry spells, but get sidelined due to lack of specialist leak training.

That’s exactly where FIDO comes in.
