Advancing a rural Canadian community with iHydrant technology

Advancing a rural Canadian community with iHydrant technology

Carman, a rural agricultural town located 85 kilometers south of Winnipeg, recognized the need for smart technology to help protect its aging water infrastructure using iHydrant. One of the key features of the iHydrant solution is detecting unknown pressure spikes that can lead to main breaks over time.  With an average of -3°F/-19.44°C from November to March, real-time system monitoring can help the utility be more proactive during winter months when breaks are more prone to happen.

The town became one of the first municipalities in Manitoba to adopt iHydrant in 2022, and after realizing the value they received, gradually expanded its network of iHydrants throughout their distribution system.

“Water resources are sometimes taken for granted.  It is really rewarding to see the growing number of utilities regardless of their size, embrace new technologies to help them better understand and manage their systems efficiently.” iHydrant National Director Karen Siu said.
