###### Case Study — A Resource from VODA.ai

# How Sacramento Suburban Water District Built a Leak Detection Program It Can Actually Defend

**Risk-Based Targeting in a Low-Loss System**

Sacramento Suburban Water District serves 200,000 people across 700 miles of pipe – and by most measures, performs well. Low water loss. Fast response times. Robust maintenance.

But in California's regulatory environment, performing well isn't enough. When the state asks what you're doing to reduce water loss, you need a program with clear logic and evidence behind it.

SSWD turned to VODA.ai to shift from rotational leak detection to surgical targeting, uncovering nearly 8 million gallons per year in leaks, including failures that never would have surfaced on their own.

**Download the case study** to see how targeted leak detection changes what's possible – even in a low-loss system.
