Local Tulsa Oklahoma plumbers are advising area residents about a new advanced leak detection system that has proven itself to be extremely effective for water pressure changes hinting at leaks.
-- With rural water districts in Jefferson County and other areas of Oklahoma seeking to fulfill their ever-changing needs for water leak detection services, a response from eLynx Water Solutions has resulted in a device that could easily be installed by the operator - and that alerts them to low water pressures across their supply pipeline. Since the installation of “Round the Clock Water Leak Detection” devices, as dubbed by eLynx, a plethora of OK-based plumbing services companies like Bixby’s Big C’s Plumbing have been applauding the efforts as a game-changer.
“Much of the drinking water infrastructure in the United States has been in service for decades and can be a significant source of water loss through leaks,” explains Big C’s Chris Ogan. “The EPA’s Water Audits and Water Loss Control for the Public Water Systems’ document makes note that the average water loss in systems is 16-percent, while an EPA report we looked at from 2016 says the effects of aging infrastructure are seen annually in approximately 240,000 main breaks, leakage of 1.7 trillion gallons of treated drinking water, at the related loss of approximately $2.6 billion.

“These numbers are alarming, so a system like eLynx’s ‘Round the Clock Water Leak Detection’ can be considered something of a godsend - and game-changer.”
According to experts like Ogan, many leak detection methods provide water operators with a one-time assessment of their operations; to find leaks in the field, says Ogan, some methods need to encompass chlorine-sniffing dogs, drones armed with infrared cameras or walking the line with advanced ground microphones.
“With these methodologies, water management facilities are only provided a snapshot of what their operations look like at a particular moment,” adds Ogan.
Ogan and other local Oklahoma plumbing business owners are getting behind eLynx’s device that provides monitoring for leaks in real time, allowing water districts to see continuous pressure readings throughout the entire water system. Each eLynx Water Leak Detection unit operates continuously in remote locations and transmits water pressure readings every 15 minutes, providing water utilities with 24/7 oversight of their water supply pipelines. Decreases in water pressure are, according to Ogan and others, detected and reported immediately via text and email to operators.
“The fruits of these labors by eLynx have not gone unnoticed by our plumber representatives, at all; we have been witness to a Jefferson County RWD1 system manager and his team, who had installed seven ‘Round the Clock’ Water Leak Detection units across their system and ultimately received a text alert at 11:45 in the evening regarding a low-pressure alarm,” concludes Ogan. “By 5:00 am, the leak was repaired - normally, officials would not have known about this leak until customers began reporting low or no water, or if the SCADA system sent a low tank level alert.”
