Itron smart water meters to help Romanian
utility improve efficiency and combat water loss
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and
services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, announced today that the Romanian water utility SC CUP
Dunarea Braila SA will install nearly 30,000 Itron Flodis/Flostar M
water meters equipped with radio modules to address water loss.
CUP Dunarea Braila is the regional water and wastewater operator
in southeastern Romania, which serves more than 280,000 people in
104 towns. To modernize the current water infrastructure, the
utility has decided to install Itron’s Flodis/Flostar M meter
equipped with smart radio modules to replace the utility’s lower
precision meters. With the support of local Itron partner Vestra
(Elsaco Group), these meters will be deployed for residential,
commercial and industrial customers.
Mobile data collection allows the utility to reduce meter
reading time and cost, and avoid manual reading mistakes. Smart
meters store and transmit enhanced, advanced data. The utility can
use this precise information and data analysis to monitor water
usage, reduce water loss, detect fraud and optimize water network
efficiency.
“This project will enable us to improve water delivery to our
customers. These meters will help reduce water losses due to leaks
or measurement inaccuracies by providing accurate water usage
data,” said Silviu Mangiurea, general manager of CUP Dunarea
Braila. “We are pleased to work with Itron to update our
infrastructure with technology to improve our operational
performance and customer service.”
“Designed to provide accurate readings in tough conditions, the
Flodis/Flostar M water meter will equip CUP Dunarea Braila to
accurately measure water consumption and optimize reading
processes,” said Mathias Martin, Itron vice president of sales,
EMEA. “We are confident in the proven success of these meters, with
millions in service around the world.”
