CEO, Chuck Hansen Takes to the Airwaves to Show How Looking Into a Meter Box Doesn’t Find Lead

After hearing of so many California cities that limited their water service line inspections to visual inspection of the inside of meter boxes and visual inspection of hose bibs or spigots, Chuck Hansen decided to take to the airwaves to let homeowners know that buried water pipes need to be inspected, too.

Watch and learn how underground pipes can be inspected with the Electro Scan SWORDFISH, without digging. Making sure that homes and business are certified as non-lead water pipes.

Special thanks to Sacramento’s Kellee Benedict Electro Scan Producer and on-air talents Gary Gelfand and Scott Moak.

Watersmart Innovations Conference

More water utilities are publicly saying that “they have reached the point of diminishing returns” using legacy #acoustic sensors, data loggers, #satellites, and smart meters” to find leaks. Not to mention, the inability to locate buried lead pipe or find leak locations in gravity sewer pipes or force mains.

Join me in Las Vegas at the Watersmart Innovations Conference on Wednesday, October 5, at 4:35pm where I will discuss how smart utilities have stopped listening for water leaks and started using machine-intelligent solutions from Electro Scan Inc. to find & measure water leaks in Gallons per Minute.

The New Circular Economy for Leak Detection has found that water losses missed by Acoustic and Electro-Magnetic solutions, drain into sewers as infiltration that are missed by CCTV cameras and visual inspection into joints that can’t be seen or interpreted as leaks by AI.

Replace Lead Pipes Faster

I’m delighted to see Electro Scan Inc.‘s award-winning #SWORDFISH added to the Environmental Policy Innovation Center‘s (EPIC) recently published ‘Menu of Options: Data and Technology To Replace Lead Pipes Faster.’

Thank you Maureen CunninghamJessica MahrGabriella Mabayyed (Gabby), and Marie Cailo for all your hard work at EPIC.

With more States no longer accepting Visual Inspection to inventory Lead Pipes, #SWORDFISH is a water utility’s only way to confirm non-lead and lead buried pipes, without digging up a customer’s yard.

#SWORDFISH
– EPA Referenced ‘Electrical Resistance Testing’
– Pressurized or Un-Pressurized Lines
– Basement Entry or Curb Side Entry
– All Pipe Materials
– Cloud-based Field Reporting (In Minutes)
– Patented and Patent-Pending

This is the industry’s only solution to assess buried lead pipe without digging!

The Deadline to Inventory Service Lines of October 16, 2024 for the nearly 50,000 Community Water Systems (CWS) is coming fast. And, most original estimates for #lead pipes are growing exponentially.

A California water utility called this week that has plastic pipe for nearly 90% of their water main network. They asked if they found any #lead pipe on the customer’s side if they had to inventory & replace it?

WOW!

YES. That is what the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (P.L. 117-58) will finance and contains a historic $15 billion in funding for Lead Service Line (LSL) identification and replacement.  Available through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF).

DON’T WAIT.

Electrical Resistance Testing

Electro Scan Inc. looks forward to joining Michael Simpson, CEO M.E. Simpson Co., Inc., to share how utilities are adopting ‘ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TESTING’ for lead detection, as referenced in the EPA’s Guidance for Developing and Maintaining a Service Line Inventory, published 2022 (EPA 816-8-22-001.

Not in Los Angeles. Watch online or send me an email at chuck@electroscan.com for a copy of the slide stack and link to privately view the session.

World Water-Tech

I can’t wait to hear Mike App, EVP, Electro Scan Inc., cite recent field benchmarks showing acoustic sensors, data loggers, and correlates miss 80-100% of leaks, without the ability to correctly measure leak severities in Gallons per Minute or Liters per Second at DAY ONE World Water-Tech here in Los Angeles.

Can’t make it to Los Angeles? Contact World Water-Tech and get online access to the conference.

Not affected by customer usage, flow velocity, groundwater, pipe material, pressure, or repairs, Electro Scan Inc.‘s non-acoustic ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE INSPECTION technology is a game changer.

Who else can find leaks in pressurized or gravity pipes, not to mention locate LEAD Service lines?

Don’t want to get burned investing in old technology that can’t hear or see leaks or properly assess pipe wall thicknesses? Let us brief you.
