Following up on the successful pilot project with remote leak detection implemented in Southern California, we scaled the partnership to New York City. Implementing partners Sensor Industries and RJ Block installed leak detection sensors on 395 toilets in transitional housing in New York City. Toilet leaks are difficult to detect and are the primary source of water waste in multi-family buildings. Installing this technology will result in quicker toilet repair or replacement and a strong water savings profile.

Toilet Leak Detection Mercy Housing San Francisco
In partnership with Sensor Industries, Pacific Institute and Mercy Housing, a senior and low income development in San Francisco’s Mission Bay district installed 203 toilet sensors to collect toilet leak data in the building and prevent water loss with leak repairs. This collaborative project is tackling water waste using an innovative toilet leak detection system. A small, non-obtrusive sensor attached to the toilet water supply line can identify toilet leaks in real time. The sensors connect to an online dashboard that sends immediate alerts to property managers and generates work orders for maintenance teams, creating an efficient process to find and fix toilet leaks. Each installation helps save water, streamline property maintenance, and reduce water and wastewater costs.

Leak Detection in Senior Housing Development Phoenix
In partnership with Pacific Institute, and the City of Phoenix, we are helping to install leak detection devices from Sensor Industries on toilets in low-income senior housing, enabling building management to quickly detect and repair toilet leaks in Phoenix, Arizona. The project is expected to save an estimated 2.3 million liters of water annually through leak detection and repair and it builds on successful leak detection pilots conducted in Los Angeles and other U.S. cities.
