Project title
Sustainable Water Demand Management: Phase 1 Pilot Project, Lviv
Summary – using state of the art technology developed in the UK to minimise leakage from water systems, significantly reducing economic and environmental losses.
Project code PECE-14

Lviv Communal City Enterprise ‘Lvivvodokanal’, Ukraine
Lviv City Council
Duration  
Location Ukraine
Purpose

Losing water from water systems results in significant economic and environmental losses that should be minimised. The question we face is: how to achieve this in the EECCA region, at affordable cost?

Leakage management in Lviv, as in most EECCA countries, is inefficient and ineffective because areas of high loss or consumption cannot be prioritised due to a lack of adequate flow measurement. The project provides an innovative solution to this problem, using state of the art technology developed in UK to make instantaneous measurements of water demand patterns and pressures within apartment blocks (Phase 1 & 2), and pipeline systems (Phase 3)

Themes Water conservation and management, Energy saving, Municipal capacity building, Environmental sustainability
Funding Project partners: £22,700; Defra: £22,450
