Valor Water's Hidden Revenue Locator software solution <br />offers a holistic approach to identifying problematic meters, enabling South Bend Water Works <br />to implement a meter replacement program based off actual performance of each individual <br />meter, and offers South Bend Water Works an opportunity to monitor their entire meter <br />inventory in a way that was not available in the industry previously. <br />Hidden Revenue Locator <br />Valor Water Analytics ("Valor"), a smart water company and industry leader in the <br />identification of apparent water loss, has created Hidden Revenue Locator (HRL), a leading edge <br />software as a service ("SaaS") solution that helps our clients identify apparent water loss and <br />make data -based decisions to reduce Non Revenue Water (NRW). <br />There are 3 modules within HRL — Customer Metering Inaccuracies, Customer Leaks, and <br />Customer Data Handling Inaccuracies. Based off conversations with South Bend Water Works, it <br />is recommended to start off with Customer Metering Inaccuracies. <br />The HRL Customer Metering Inaccuracies module will strengthen South Bend Water Work's <br />operations in the following ways: <br />• Identify and address water and revenue loss, at and behind the customer meter <br />• Contribute to meter asset management <br />• Help in the prioritization of meter replacement <br />Support process improvement and efficiencies in operations & field services. <br />Solution Description: Hidden Revenue Locator: <br />The HRL SaaS solution uses several indicator categories to identify meters with apparently water <br />loss issues and, once identified, `flags' those meters. These categories are listed below in Table <br />1. Reports of flagged meters are delivered to you via Valor's secure web -based client portal in <br />the form of a dashboard (the "Client Portal") that is updated daily (for meters that have hourly <br />data) and monthly (for meters with monthly reads). Water Works staff can log into the Client <br />Portal to access the reports and direct them to the correct departments for back office or field - <br />level issue investigation and resolution. <br />EJCDC E-520 Short Form of Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services. <br />Copyright ©2009 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC.
