Today we have the opportunity to help accelerate progress – by working side by side to innovate and improve how the world conserves, optimizes and manages water to better protect our ecosystem and make water available to more people and communities around the world.
Water Affordability
Delivering water is not always an efficient process and a lot of water can be lost along the way. We help prevent lost water due to leaking infrastructure, pipeline failures, faulty meters and unauthorized use. We provide innovative solutions that save water, energy and cost.
Water Sustainability
Millions of people around the world lack access to water. We transport, treat, test and track water to help make it safe and readily available to communities. We enable water reuse to create sustainable water sources for areas facing water scarcity. We assess, monitor and fix clean water lost in distribution.
Water Resilience
Water systems worldwide are experiencing increasing water-related emergencies, including natural disasters. We provide water technology and smart infrastructure solutions that help communities prepare for, mitigate the impact of and recover from severe weather events, protecting local economies and ecosystems from flooding and sewer overflow pollution – and protecting lives.
Many brands, one company, endless opportunities across the water cycle.
We focus on producing highly efficient water technologies that use less energy, reduce lifecycle costs and provide environmental benefits. Our products and services serve a number of industries including agricultural, construction, environmental, food and beverage, government agencies, industrial, public utilities, residential and commercial building services.
Many utilities are dealing with the challenges of aging water and sewer infrastructure. Despite their age, buried water and wastewater pipelines remain the most valuable assets a utility owns. In many cases, the value of buried pipelines represents two-thirds of the utilities’ total assets.
Learn how Xylem can assess the condition of aging infrastructure to determine replacement and also offer repair opportunities where needed:
System control
Up to 40% of valves are inoperable, unlocatable, or in the wrong position. Gain better network control by evaluating, rehabilitating, and repairing critical valves.
Actionable pipeline condition data helps maximize the life of buried assets and can be used to prevent critical pipeline failures that threaten the environment and access to essential services.
With standard and custom options for clamps, couplings, adapters and saddles your aging infrastructure can be quickly and easily repaired extending the life of your water network.
Against a backdrop of rising needs and insufficient resources, Xylem offers powerful new tools to help utility leaders achieve superior performance as they serve their communities. These digital solutions can help improve cash flow and service affordability, ensure compliance and operating performance, and build system resilience.
The first step in addressing non-revenue water is ensuring accurate meter readings. From unmetered water and inaccurate billing to unauthorized use, apparent loss can cause revenue instability. Within your distribution system, water leaks, bursts and overflows also create costly problems as well.
For those reasons, reducing non-revenue water (NRW) and closing the gap between the volume of supplied water and the water usage billed is top of mind to increase and maintain efficiency and improve sustainability.
Utilities can deploy multiple solutions using the smart utility network to address their current and future needs, including:
Real Losses
Acoustic Monitoring
Detect flow by listening to the distribution system and analyzing the data to determine if a leak condition exists so you can quickly investigate and make repairs before major problems occur.
Using new technology you can quickly and easily build District metering areas to more effectively monitor the water supplied and consumed allowing you to manage non- revenue water (real loss) leak detection.
An integrated three state valve allows you to remotely manage your water system to ensure quick response for leaks and in emergency response situations. Managing water loss has never been easier or safer.
Apparent Losses
Hidden Revenue Locator
Apparent water loss can account for up to 2% of a utility’s operating revenue. Reduce apparent loss and increase revenue by identifying individual meter inaccuracies and help prioritize meter replacement.
Against a backdrop of rising needs and insufficient resources, Xylem offers powerful new tools to help utility leaders achieve superior performance as they serve their communities. These digital solutions can help improve cash flow and service affordability, ensure compliance and operating performance, and build system resilience.
Gaining visibility into the variables that cause most problems in the water system is critical to the health and safety of the community. Having access to more data through smarter monitoring allows water utilities to measure, monitor, trend, model and control water quality across the entire water cycle.
Check out some of the ways Xylem can help solve your water quality challenges:
Chlorine Analyzer for water quality
Continuously monitor free or total chlorine within your drinking water system to ensure complete water quality.
A custom designed system that will help you evaluate influent water qualities, determine optimal loading rates, select the best media characteristics and manage the backwash process.
Multi-barrier solution for wastewater treatment, to disinfect and destroy organic “contaminants of emerging concern”, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, herbicides and personal care residuals.
Reduce your backwash water consumption and extend media life while lowering energy costs. With low profile and modular options, we have the right solution for your needs.
Quality compliance is your top priority and we take it seriously. Our UV and ozone technologies have been validated and referenced in hundreds of thousands of installations worldwide.
Against a backdrop of rising needs and insufficient resources, Xylem offers powerful new tools to help utility leaders achieve superior performance as they serve their communities. These digital solutions can help improve cash flow and service affordability, ensure compliance and operating performance, and build system resilience.
Utilities have millions of dollars of assets to manage. From pipes lines to meters, the hydraulic cycle provides a constant movement of water, which can degrade assets over time and result in costly repairs or replacements.
Other challenges like increased population, natural disasters and higher demand for water put a strain on finite water resources and can put your employees and communities at risk.
Learn how Xylem partners with utilities to help address these challenges helping to better manage their capital costs, workforce management, and risks associated with changes across the water cycle:
Clean water pumps
Xylem’s water pumps have the highest motor and hydraulic efficiencies, and intelligent control units that automatically adapt performance to your demand.
With no moving parts and unparalleled accuracy, the iPerl meter can be set up in walk by drive by mode or with AMI connectivity you can capture more revenue and reduce maintenance across your water network.
Migrate from AMR to AMI at your own pace
Keep your existing assets while seamlessly moving from AMR to a more robust smart water network.
