INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global
Water Technologies (OTC Pink: GWTR) has partnered with the Buried
Asset Management Institute – International (BAMI-I) to test new
solutions for aging water infrastructure.
Global Water Technologies is introducing a patented new system
from Europe that uses
multi-parameter sensors and software to reduce water loss in
drinking water systems. This is a significant problem in
the United States, where aging
underground pipes typically lose more than 20 percent of treated
water before it reaches customers. In addition to wasting water and
energy, leaking pipes result in hundreds of daily water main breaks
that cause extensive damage and disrupt business.
BAMI-I provide a center of excellence for owners of underground
water infrastructure to join with industry and researchers, using
sound science, to evaluate and develop buried asset management
protocols to benefit ratepayers and other stakeholders by:
- protecting public health
- maximizing asset lifecycle value
- improving the environment
- sustaining economic development
- enhancing the quality of life
"Sustainable cities must improve efficiency in their water
infrastructure," said Erik Hromadka,
CEO of Global Water Technologies. "This requires new ideas and
collaboration among water utilities, community leaders, research
universities and innovative companies."

Global Water Technologies is seeking municipal and financial
partners for a pilot project in the U.S. to demonstrate how the new
technology can provide early leak detection and reduce water main
breaks. Communities interested in participating in a pilot project
should contact the company.
