Pune Chooses Sensus iPERL to Deliver its Pioneering 24x7 Water Project
Mumbai, February 11th, 2019:
Sensus, a Xylem brand, has been selected as
Larsen & Toubro’s (L&T) technology partner to ensure the successful
implementation of Pune Municipal Corporation’s (PMC) innovative 24x7 water
distribution project. Aiming to supply continuous water supply and
significantly reduce water loss, PMC has invested in over 275,000 Sensus iPERL™ smart water meters to monitor, measure
and manage activity across its network. As the
first city in India to implement a programme aligned to the country’s Smart
City Mission, PMC was motivated by the exponential growth in its population
over the last decade and subsequent strain on its water supply. In order to
meet the growing demand and future-proof against a potential water crisis, PMC
launched its water distribution project to ensure it could deliver continuous
water supply to its inhabitants.
Commenting on the deployment, Mr V. G. Kulkarni, Chief Engineer, Pune
Municipal Corporation, said, “We are extremely proud to be the
first Indian city to deploy cutting-edge smart water meters. This is just the
first step on our journey towards making Pune a more sustainable and
self-sufficient city committed to conserving water. We are confident that
Sensus is the right partner to ensure we achieve these goals.”
Pune
plans to install more than 275,000 iPERL meters over a three year period, and
aim to reduce its non-revenue water by half during this time. “The investment
in smart technology presents a tremendous opportunity for PMC to gain an
in-depth understanding of the network and respond accordingly to improve its
performance,” said Tom Mills, Vice
President, Strategic Solutions at Sensus. “We are delighted to
be working with PMC and L&T and hope other cities follow in their
footsteps.”
