California's water infrastructure is older than my grandpa! 💧How LPWAN solutions Enhance Infrastructure Performance

---

📊 According to the EPA, much of #California’s #undergroundwater #infrastructure is over 70 years old, with some systems dating back to the early 1900s. Across the U.S., we lose over 6 billion gallons of treated water every day to leaks, bursts, and undetected pressure anomalies — a major threat to sustainability and operational budgets alike.

Consequences of California's Water Infrastructure

The consequences?

 • 💥 Pipe bursts in aging lines

 • 💸 Soaring maintenance costs

 • 🕳️ Undetected leaks are damaging roads and property

 • 🚧 Reactive maintenance is overwhelming public utilities

💡 The Solution: Intelligent, Real-Time Monitoring techniques (like pressure, flow, acoustics, etc) with integrated LPWAN transmission technologies.

Modern water networks demand proactive diagnostics. By deploying LoRaWAN or NB-IoT pressure sensors, utilities can monitor in near real-time, detect abnormal pressure drops, and prevent catastrophic failures before they happen. These battery-operated, low-power devices can operate for years without service and deliver data straight to the cloud with minimal infrastructure cost.

🔍 Studies show that smart monitoring systems reduce non-revenue water losses by 20 to 30% and lower emergency repair costs by over 50%.

🔧 Why Ellenex Industrial IoT Sensors Are Engineered for the Job

At the forefront of this transformation are Ellenex PTS3 and PTD2 pressure sensors:

✅ PTS3: LoRaWAN/NB-IoT pressure sensor for above-ground and underground pipeline networks.

 ✅ PTD2: Pressure Sensor with built-in temperature sensor, ideal for pressure and temperature monitoring of pipelines. underground pipes.

 ✅ Both models offer IP68-rated enclosures, multi-year battery life, and seamless integration into cloud platforms or SCADA servers. And Ellenex doesn’t stop at pressure. Our integrated solutions allow monitoring of pressure, flow, and water quality from a single node, making it easier than ever to digitalize legacy infrastructure.

California can’t afford to wait. It's time we move from reactive repairs to predictive resilience and prescriptive asset management solutions.
