At Sensor Industries, we’re thrilled to have played a crucial role in Arizona’s first Leak Detection Pilot at Sunnyslope Manor, an innovative project that recently earned an Award of Merit from the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO). This groundbreaking initiative showcases the power of smart technology in addressing critical water conservation challenges.

Tackling Water Waste with Cutting-Edge Technology

Our advanced sensors, designed to combat toilet leaks – a major source of water waste – were central to this project. By attaching these small, sophisticated devices to toilet water supply lines, we’ve enabled real-time leak detection, a game-changer in water conservation efforts.

Impressive Results and Far-Reaching Impact

The implementation of our technology at Sunnyslope Manor, an affordable senior community in Phoenix, is projected to reduce water usage by an impressive 10-20%. This significant saving not only conserves precious water resources but also generates cost savings that will be reinvested in the property, directly benefiting the senior residents.

A Model for Scalable Water Conservation

What makes this project truly special is its potential for scalability. As Arizona’s first toilet leak detection pilot, it sets a precedent for both public and private properties across Phoenix and beyond. Mayor Kate Gallego’s attendance at the installation underscores the city’s commitment to innovative water conservation strategies, and we’re proud to be part of this initiative.

Collaboration for a Sustainable Future

This success story is a testament to the power of collaboration. Working alongside the Pacific Institute, the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, and with funding from Procter & Gamble, we’ve demonstrated how partnerships between technology providers, research institutions, and forward-thinking municipalities can drive meaningful change.

Empowering Communities

Perhaps most heartening is the enthusiasm of Sunnyslope Manor’s residents. Their pride in contributing to this important initiative shows how technology can not only solve environmental challenges but also engage and empower communities.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this NAHRO Award of Merit, we at Sensor Industries are more motivated than ever to continue pushing the boundaries of water conservation technology. The Sunnyslope Manor project proves that small, focused interventions can yield substantial community and environmental benefits.

We’re committed to expanding our reach, helping more cities like Phoenix implement smart, sustainable solutions. By combining innovative technology with community engagement, we can make a significant impact on water conservation, one toilet at a time.

Join us in this water-saving revolution. Together, we can create a more sustainable future for our communities and our planet.
