Home Browse Search

t Qualifications Effective distribution of water to local residents is vitally important to the growth of any community. Whether the distribution channels are to extend from an existing infrastructure, or the infrastructure itself needs to be repaired or engineered, numerous economic and environmental factors come into play; Regulatory requirements must be met; and revenue projections must be accurately assessed. Above all, environmental safety and efficient delivery must be achieved to ensure community acceptance. ADS offers the full complement of technology and resources necessary to solve your community's water distribution system needs. The commodity that water systems deliver today has greater value than ever before. Water supply, treatment, storage, and pumping all add value to the water user. With mounting infrastructure costs and growing constraints on water resources, water system managers must strive to account for all of the water that travels from source to end users. Water accountability on the supply side is effective because it is under utility managers' direct control and water savings translate directly to cost savings. Water accountability analyses track water through the delivery system and identify potential areas for improvement. ADS has an extensive background in Water Audits, Special Hydraulic Measurements, District Measurements, and Leak Detection. ADS has provided these services in hundreds of cities across the United States. During several of these projects, important discoveries were made — such as open blow-offs and closed valves—which led to savings of millions of dollars and improved water delivery after the problems were remedied. Pitometer Associates, now known as ADS, originally devised the Water Loss Survey in the late 1800's and this has become the modern IWA/AWWA Water Audit. ADS has the equipment, knowledge, and experience to carry out every aspect of this project and we would like to showcase our unmatched performance with The City Decatur.
