The District provides potable water, recycled water, and wastewater service to a population of more than 75,000. The District is seeking the services of a firm that can utilize radar technology (satellite, aerial, or on-ground) to identify and report the potential locations of leaks throughout its drinking water system.

The scope of work will culminate with submission of a report and map(s) showing the potential locations of water leaks in the potable and recycle water system.
