Awareness, Location and Repair (ALR)
What do you have in place to reduce Non-Revenue Water?
A well-designed Non-Revenue Water management strategy should be based on the concept of Awareness, Location, and Repair, or ALR.
Awareness time – The time it takes to become aware of the leak.
Location time – The time it takes to locate the leak.
Repair time – The time it takes to repair the leak.
Shortening leak duration is the most important and most overlooked component of minimizing Non-Revenue Water (NRW).
Technology integration is critical to reducing leak duration.
Solutions include:
- Fixed Base acoustic loggers
- Autocorrelation integrated with customer GIS mapping
- Real-time monitoring of distribution systems
- District Metered Areas
Non-revenue water is also known as unaccounted for water %.

Leak Detection Data Loggers
Discover the hidden leaks in your underground network. Our non-disruptive, leak detection loggers offer magnetic installation, continuous monitoring, notification alarms, and flexible deployment options.
All loggers feature rugged construction and are powered by low-cost, replaceable batteries, some with up to a 10-year battery life.
We’ll work with you to recommend a scalable plan so you can quickly and easily monitor 100% of your distribution system.
Leak Detection Data Logger Installation
Can’t allocate staff time to install the data loggers? Don’t worry. 540 Technologies will install them for you! Our team will work closely with key staff from your organization to implement the custom deployment plan we’ve collaborated with you to develop.
Whether your deployment involves permanent placement or a “lift-and-shift” operation, we have the resources you need for your logger installation from start to finish, with no disruption of service to your customers.
Leak Pinpointing
Once data loggers have confirmed what you already knew – that you have leaks in your underground network – how do you find those leaks without doing a lot of extra digging?
Using sophisticated ground microphones and leading-edge data correlators, our water loss experts will show you how to pinpoint leaks within 12 inches of the source and avoid unnecessary digging and service disruptions.
