IoT Technology to Help Canadian City Improve Water Leak Detection
Echologics, a Mueller Technologies company, today announced it will deliver an Internet of Things (IoT) Smart City solution over Bell’s broadband wireless network for the City of Medicine Hat, Alberta. The solution will wirelessly monitor the city’s water pipeline network to help reduce water loss and mitigate the cost of infrastructure failure.
More than 150 of Echologics’ EchoShore®-DX smart nodes will be deployed throughout Medicine Hat’s water distribution network of existing fire hydrants to collect data and monitor water infrastructure for leaks. Supported by secure and reliable connectivity on Bell’s national network, the cloud-based data will allow Medicine Hat to make better informed decisions about its water system.
“Medicine Hat considers utility sustainability a strategic and economic issue,” said Brian Murphy, General Manager, Environmental Utilities for the City of Medicine Hat. “This IoT approach to leak detection will enable us to take another big step forward by cutting water loss and enabling us to quickly address small problems.”
