Acea Ato 5 for the community

The water sites managed by Acea Ato 5 – including supply sources, distribution plants, sewage lifting stations and purification plants – are partially equipped with remote control systems, which enable remote telemetry, command and control, as well as the detection of hydraulic (water flow rate, network pressure, tank level, operating status of electric pumps), electrical and qualitative (turbidity and residual chlorine) parameters.
By the end of 2023, remote control systems were installed in 457 plants (equipped with hydraulic measurements such as "flow rate, pressure and level"). Of these 16 were also equipped with a water quality system, and 153 were network points with continuous pressure or flow monitoring).

In 2023, about 119,229 analytical determinations were carried out. The analyses and controls performed by Acea Ato 5 ensure the quality of water.

We are progressively districting all our managed water networks. The activity involves dividing the water network in homogeneous distribution districts, in which the injected and supplied water volumes are measured, and the operating pressures are monitored. This approach enables more efficient operation of the water network by continuously monitoring the main variables that characterise its management and allowing for quickly interventions in the event of anomalies. Acea Ato 5 has districted the networks for 9 new municipalities and upgraded the existing districts to balance the network operation and optimise the distribution service. Moreover, the active control of pressures was maintained through the installation of meters, reducers and regulating valves at strategic points.
In 2023, the interventions helped to reduce water leakage to 63.8% (compared to 64.3% in 2022).
