Xchange USA 2027
What Will It Take to Turn Leak Detection into Measurable, System-Wide Water-Loss Reduction?
Join water utilities, municipal authorities, network operators, engineers, asset managers, technology providers and infrastructure specialists to examine the strategies, technologies and operating models required to reduce real water losses across distribution networks.
Why Attend
Big Question Facing the Water-Loss Reduction Market:
How Can Utilities Turn Better Network Visibility into Sustained, Economically Defensible Leakage Reduction?
Water leakage is no longer simply a question of locating and repairing visible failures. Utilities must make decisions across water auditing, network monitoring, pressure management, field intervention, asset condition, infrastructure renewal, regulatory expectations and long-term capital planning.
Water Leakage Reduction Xchange USA 2027 will examine how utilities can progress from establishing reliable loss baselines and locating hidden leakage through active network control, targeted repair, failure prevention, rehabilitation and scalable system-wide reduction programs.
The conference will help participants evaluate water-loss auditing, advanced leak detection, continuous monitoring, pressure management, asset condition, failure prediction, rehabilitation, regulatory requirements, lifecycle economics and long-term program delivery.

What You Will Learn
Five Themes Defining the Next Phase of Water-Loss Reduction
The agenda is structured around the measurement, detection, network-control, infrastructure and investment decisions that will determine how utilities move from identifying leakage to delivering measurable and sustainable reductions across distribution systems.
01
Water Loss Strategy, Auditing & Performance Management
Establish credible water-loss baselines and translate system-wide data into prioritized reduction programs. Examine water audits, data validation, real and apparent losses, meter accuracy, consumption analysis, performance indicators and economically achievable leakage targets while determining how utilities can identify where intervention will deliver the greatest operational and financial value.
02
Advanced Leak Detection, Monitoring & Network Intelligence
Find hidden leakage earlier, improve localization accuracy and direct field resources toward the highest-priority interventions. Compare acoustic monitoring, correlators, satellite and remote sensing, smart metering, flow and pressure sensors, continuous monitoring and AI-assisted analytics while evaluating how multiple data sources can be integrated to reduce false positives and improve network visibility.
03
Pressure Management & Active Leakage Control
Reduce leakage volumes and recurring failures by improving how distribution networks are operated. Explore pressure zoning, PRVs, dynamic pressure control, district metered areas, network segmentation, transient monitoring and pump, tank and valve optimization while balancing leakage reduction with customer service, fire-flow requirements and wider operational reliability.
04
Asset Condition, Failure Prevention & Infrastructure Renewal
Identify vulnerable infrastructure and determine where repair, rehabilitation or replacement will create the greatest lifecycle value. Examine condition assessment, failure history, predictive analytics, risk-based prioritization, pipe deterioration, trenchless rehabilitation and minimally disruptive renewal while integrating water-loss priorities into broader asset-management and capital-replacement programs.
05
Economics, Regulation & Scaling Water-Loss Reduction
Move from isolated interventions and successful pilots toward financially sustainable, utility-wide water-loss programs. Explore avoided production and treatment costs, energy savings, water-loss performance standards and reporting requirements, funding, procurement, performance-based delivery, CAPEX and OPEX planning and program ownership while building stronger business cases for long-term leakage reduction.

How This Will Help You Compete
Your Operational Edge in Water-Loss Reduction
Successful leakage reduction will depend on more than finding individual leaks. Utilities must understand where losses occur, improve network visibility, control the operating conditions that accelerate failure and direct limited capital toward interventions capable of delivering sustained system-wide performance.
Audit & Performance Readiness
Strengthen water-loss baselines, data confidence and performance indicators to identify where intervention should begin and how progress should be measured.
Detection & Network Intelligence
Evaluate acoustic, sensor, satellite, metering and analytics approaches against localization accuracy, monitoring coverage, field verification and operational value.
Pressure & Operational Control
Understand how pressure management, network segmentation and transient control can reduce background leakage, burst frequency and recurring asset stress.
Asset & Renewal Strategy
Determine how condition, criticality, failure history and lifecycle cost should influence repair, rehabilitation and replacement decisions.
Program Scale & Investment
Build stronger long-term strategies around regulation, procurement, capital planning, performance measurement and utility-wide deployment.
