Case Study: Water Board Unteres Lafnitztal improves hydrant monitoring and prevents water loss with Hawle H4.live

Project Reference Unteres Lafnitztal

The Water Board Unteres Lafnitztal, a water utility serving 30,000 people, faced challenges with unauthorized and improper use of its hydrants. This led to water loss, pipe damage, and unbilled water consumption, the cost of which was passed on to the public. To address this, the board worked with vendor Hawle to implement its H4.live digital hydrant solution.

Hawle's solution provided digital monitoring of the hydrants. The H4.live hydrants alert the water board immediately when they are actuated and signal when they have been properly closed. This allows for a rapid response to check the hydrant and reinstall anti-theft devices. The implementation by Hawle enables permanent monitoring for leaks and unauthorized withdrawals, helping to prevent water theft and reduce unnoticed water loss.
