Water Intelligence announces that a UK major water utility, South West Water Limited, is backing the development and commercialisation by Water Intelligence of a new hi-tech device that will allow metered domestic water users to monitor their own water use and identify quickly when a leak has occurred.
"Domestic Reporter" represents a broadening of the Company's existing "Leakfrog" technology, which was developed in conjunction with Thames Water. In September 2010, the Company announced an order for Leakfrogs from Thames Water worth 177,000; delivery was completed in March 2011.
Domestic Reporter is being designed to allow households to monitor water usage, usage over the previous day, week or month and the projected cost of their annual water bill, based on the usage at that time. The Company currently expects orders for the product, subject to successful development and testing, to commence in the UK towards the end of 2011. A number of distribution channels for the products are being considered.
South West Water is providing financial and technical support to the Company's development of the Domestic Reporter product.
In addition, the Company is discussing with potential partners extending its non-invasive leak detection services as part of a "one-stop shop" strategy in the UK.
Water Intelligence is also investigating making Domestic Reporter available for the US market where the problem of water loss and property damage from leaks is also significant and where the Company's wholly- owned subsidiary, American Leak Detection ("ALD"), is the leading nationwide solution provider for precision leak detection services.

"With respect to the subject insurance customer, during 2016 the Company processed through a pilot channel approximately 1500 jobs amounting to approximately $500,000."
These jobs supplemented other insurance jobs originating at a local level among franchisees.
"The Company anticipates broadening its national approach during 2017. The Company will begin reporting a business to business channel starting with its 2016 Annual Report."

Water Intelligence, a provider of leak detection and remediation solutions, grew sales by 50% in the third quarter to $13.27 million.
The result is already approximately 10% higher than full year 2016 group sales of $12.18 million and almost double the full year 2014 group sales of $6.82 million.
While the group's sales still mostly reflect the core American Leak Detection (ALD) business, during the third quarter Water Intelligence International passed $1 million in sales.
All components of the American Leak Detection business have continued strongly despite severe flooding from hurricanes in Florida and Texas and wildfires in California. These disasters limited available workdays during which ALD could generate additional revenue and earnings.
Through Q3, franchise royalty income still grew 7.5% to $4.62 million and corporate-operated stores grew 62% to $4.99 million.
Product and equipment sales grew 11% to $0.8 million.
The company said profits before taxes remain in-line with expectations as the group continues to reinvest for accelerated growth.
As of the end of October, Water Intelligence has approximately $0.9 million in cash, $250,000 in an untapped working capital line of credit and approximately $1 million in a bank acquisition line of credit to support additional reacquisitions of franchise locations.
Patrick DeSouza, executive chairman of the company, stated: "Needless to say, we are pleased with our results. We are having yet another good year. More importantly, we are all - franchisees and corporate staff - looking forward to executing the next five-year plan. We have a big market to capture and a set of operations and offerings now in place that can scale aggressively."
