City of Monroe, Wash., partners with Sensus to upgrade metering

Nestled in the shadow of the Cascade Mountain range, the City of Monroe, Wash., is a small community growing at a rapid pace. And with new growth comes the need for new infrastructure to support it. That’s why the City of Monroe Public Works Department is using smart water technology from Sensus, a Xylem brand, to update its infrastructure, reduce leaks and change the conversation with its customers.

Recognizing an opportunity to improve its ability to detect water leaks, the department recently began an upgrade of its existing system to one that would simplify the tedious process of detecting and resolving them. Using Sensus technology, technicians now have access to real-time data that enables them to detect the source in mere seconds.
