Itron, i2O Water Alliance to Offer Smart Pressure Management Solutions

Itron Inc. announced a new alliance with i2O Water, the U.K.-based world leader in smart pressure management for water networks. The collaboration will expand Itron’s water portfolio and round out its non-revenue water (NRW) offering, enabling utilities to more effectively and efficiently manage water resources around the world. i2O’s innovative technology helps minimize non-revenue water by reducing physical water losses in the distribution network.

i2O’s Smart Pressure Management solution joins Itron’s suite of NRW products, including acoustic leak detection, district metering and analytics. I2O’s solution automatically and continuously optimizes water pressure according to consumption and day-to-day changes in flow. The patented technology provides utilities with visibility into network performance and remote control of pressures to reduce operating costs, better serve customers and extend the life of network infrastructure. The technology conserves water resources through reduced leakage and bursts, cutting the energy consumption associated with water distribution and reducing the carbon footprint of operating distribution networks.

Itron has signed a five-year agreement to distribute i2O’s Smart Pressure Management products. This new alliance will combine the strengths of each company, including Itron's leadership in the smart water metering space and i2O’s market-leading Smart Pressure Management technology, giving Itron’s customers access to a comprehensive NRW offering.
