WATER OPTIMIZATION FOR NETWORK EFFICIENCY

APPLYING EFFECTIVE TOOLS FOR REDUCING NON-REVENUE WATER WITHIN A MAJOR WATER UTILITY

© EPAL S.A. All Rights Reserved.

OUR GOAL IS EFFICIENCY

Water losses within distribution systems are a global problem, butthey must not been seen as inevitable.

EPAL, as a specialist in water distribution, has established itself as acompany with the ability to anticipate and resolve problemsassociated with water losses.
