The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) has planned to deploy TaKaDu’s Central Event Management (CEM) solution as part of its drinking water system in urban Fiji. Its current water and wastewater network constitutes more than 4,982 kilometers of pipes and treats and transports more than 136,000 megaliters of clean drinking water annually to homes and businesses across Fiji.
A major challenge facing WAF today is its high level of non-revenue water (NRW) of 45 percent. The high NRW levels are mainly because of the high number of leakages within WAF’s reticulation system due to a very old and aged infrastructure built over 50 years ago. This is further compounded by the fact that WAF’s current asset management system is unable to detect, analyze, or manage leakages efficiently.
“One of our biggest priorities is to improve and enhance our supply capabilities through various means, so we can ensure that our customers receive a consistent supply of water,” said Seru Soderberg, WAF’s Chief Operating Officer. “By implementing TaKaDu’s Central Event Management (CEM) we are taking the next step in our digital journey to reduce leakage and service interruptions while improving our network efficiency.”
“For many years and across 15 countries, our CEM solution is helping leading utilities to have a real impact on their customer service and to reduce water loss,” said Amir Peleg, TaKaDu’s founder and CEO. “We are very excited to now embark on this journey together with one of the leading water utilities in the Pacific region - the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) as they aim to achieve these goals.”
