Melbourne utility pilots new leak monitoring service

South East Water, a Melbourne based progressive utility, has recently selected to pilot a Central Event Management (CEM) service from Israel-based software company TaKaDu.

The pilot will last for a period of 18 months and will explore the software company’s cloud-based monitoring services. TaKaDu aims to provide detection for leaks and faulty valves while also suggesting operational performance improvements.

“South East Water is continuously looking at enhancing the way we manage leak detection and reduction. We have good systems and processes in place, but we’re always looking for ways to improve. This trial is a great opportunity to explore improvements we could make,” says Charlie Littlefair, South East Water’s general manager for liveable water solutions

“TaKaDu is very active in Australia with leading satisfied customers for almost a decade. We are very proud to now receive this vote of confidence from South East Water, one of the most progressive water utilities in the world” said Udi Geismar, TaKaDu’s VP of enterprise solutions.
