The Leak Has Already Started. Are You Listening?

Kamstrup brings its built-in Acoustic Leak Detection to ACE26.

Water utilities across the U.S. are losing billions of gallons of water every year to non-revenue water, and most already know it. What they may not know is that a simple solution is already sitting inside the industry’s most reliable and accurate water meter. As water professionals convene for ACE26, June 21 to 24 in Washington, D.C., Kamstrup is showing up with proof.

For years, leak detection meant scheduling surveys, renting equipment, and hoping you caught something before it turned into an emergency. Kamstrup’s Acoustic Leak Detection (ALD) changes that model entirely. Built into every flowIQ^® 2200 and 3200 meter (*2″ and below), ALD uses the same ultrasonic sensor that measures flow to listen for distribution leaks, 26 times a day, without impacting battery life or sacrificing the meter’s 20-year performance.

Real utilities are seeing powerful results. In Medford, Massachusetts, multiple ALD meters flagged elevated noise levels simultaneously, giving the team exactly what they needed to trace the problem to a hydrant left open after contractor flushing. Quick resolution. No guesswork. No wasted truck rolls. Just data that pointed straight to the source.

Noel Ayala, Medford’s Water Superintendent, put it plainly: “These meters track when a leak potentially began and show you the history. It could have been going on underground for six months, and now the new meters are in, and it’s recording this so we can address leaks on an urgent to minor level.”

That kind of visibility is what ALD delivers across every meter* in your network, offering 10 times the sensor coverage per mile compared to traditional acoustic loggers, with no extra hardware required.

Join Kamstrup at ACE26. Your network is already listening. It’s time to hear what it has to say.
