Neptune?s Revenue Enhancement Analysis Helps Water Utilities Mitigate Drought

A historic multi-year drought continues in the western United States, compounded by exceptionally dry conditions this year in much of the rest of the country. As the drought-affected areas of the United States topped 50 percent of the U.S. landmass in September, Neptune Technology Group continues to provide answers to mitigate the drought, including revenue enhancement analysis.

Just as Neptune?s R900 and R450 Systems for automatic meter reading (AMR) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) have helped water utilities across America to recapture Non-Revenue Water while aiding conservation initiatives, its SEER (Statistical Evaluation for the Enhancement of Revenue) analysis tool is specifically designed to identify Non-Revenue Water at the water meter level. Classified as ?Apparent Losses? in AWWA water audit terminology, water delivered to the consumer but not properly billed is the most expensive form of Non-Revenue Water.
