    This document summarizes a project in Hyderabad, India to reduce non-revenue water (NRW) and improve performance. It introduced an automatic meter reading (AMR) technology on a build-own-operate-transfer basis. The AMR meters allow remote reading of water usage without site visits, improving accuracy. Initial results for a 150 connection pilot found a 20% increase in revenue without increasing costs. Proper ongoing management is needed to fully realize benefits from reduced physical losses and unauthorized connections. The AMR technology and approach can be replicated in other municipalities to address NRW issues.

    Non-Revenue Water Reduction and Performance

    Improvement - Hyderabad
    Initiated in 2010

    Introduction
    What Is Non-Revenue Water?
    Non-revenue water is the difference
    between the volume of water put into a water
    distribution system and the volume that is
    billed to customers.
    Comprises three components
    Physical losses (55%)
    Commercial losses (41%)
    How Much
    Water
    Is Lost?
    Unbilled
    authorized
    consumption(4%)
    Every year, more than 32 billion cubic
    meters of treated water physically leak from
    urban water supply systems around the world,
    while 16 billion cubic meters are delivered to
    customers for zero revenue. Half of these
    losses are in developing countries, where public
    utilities are starving for additional revenues to
    finance expansion of services and where most
    connected customers suffer from intermittent
    supply and poor water quality.
    The Ministry of Urban development
    recommends that NRW should be less than less
    than 20 while The World Bank recommends
    Source: Urban Population: WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring
    that NRW should be less than 25% of the total
    Programme (JMP) for Water Supply and Sanitation 2006 data.

    Project Initiation
    Initiated by The Hyderabad
    Metropolitan Water Supply and
    Sewerage Board
    Introduced a new technology for
    water meter reading
    Upcoming technology is introduced on
    a BOOT basis

    Contract awarded

    Ms. Mantech Constructions has been


    awarded the contract through a tender
    process
    Mantech brings in the technology of Ms Arad
    Technologies Ltd of Israel which has similar

    The Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)

    Enables reading of water


    meter remotely without
    having to go to the place
    where the meter is situated

    How AMR Metering helps?


    Normal water meters consists of an impeller which rotates when water
    flows in a connected pipe and the rotations of the impellers are
    calibrated to a reading on a dial which displays the volume of water
    discharged.
    But in the AMR meter, the water meters is fitted with an air tight
    chamber consisting of an electronic device which converts the rotations
    of the impeller into a pulse output which can be transmitted as a radio
    Project
    frequency
    Location
    signal or a signal through a GSM SIM card.
    Located in Patancheru area where 150 connections account for a
    revenue of Rs. 4 crore per month to the board
    The geography of the project is spread over 40 sq km from Sangareddy
    to Gacchibowli where manual reading of water is tedious and time
    consuming

    Results
    The revenue is expected to go up by 20 per cent. The monthly payment to
    Matech would be only Rs. 3.36 lakh. The benefits in terms of water savings or
    increased billing is expected to far out weight the costs

    The Virtuous NRW Circle

    Sustainability
    The Municipality is not conducting any special drives for Physical loses .
    It also needs to do follow-up checking about disconnected water
    connections. For measuring the exact benefit or loss to the ULB, they
    must quantify the consumption of water every day and keep a check on
    it regularly

    Transferability
    This action can be replicated in any municipal body to curb the issue of
    illegal water connections.
