Aqaba Water's Smart Pressure Control

HWM Global helps Aqaba Water save 200,000 m³ of water annually by installing advanced pressure control systems that stabilised complex water networks reducing overall pressure-based leakage.

By reducing water pressure, demand for water is controlled, meaning a more efficient and sustainable distribution of water. Pegasus 2 has reduced the number of burst pipes, and therefore reduced calls to our call centre.

Aqaba, Jordan faces extreme desert temperatures, making reliable water supply essential. The utility responsible for serving over 250,000 residents and visitors identified excess minimum night‑flow pressure as a major contributor to pipe bursts and non‑revenue water.

Aqaba Water’s investigation into rising NRW loss revealed that persistent night‑time pipe bursts were caused by excessive minimum night‑flow pressure. With more water entering the system than residents were using, pressure built up overnight, straining the network, prompting Aqaba Water to turn to HWM Global for a smarter, automated solution.

HWM Global recommended Pegasus 2, an advanced pressure control system designed to stabilise and protect complex smart water networks. Once deployed, Pegasus 2 gave Aqaba Water real‑time visibility of pressure at critical points across the network, along with the ability to remotely fine‑tune pressure whenever and wherever needed, finally being able to maintain consistent, controlled operating conditions, without costly site visits.

Aqaba Water’s Pressure Management Team explained how stabilising pressure reduced burst frequency, lowered customer complaints, improved DMA performance, and cut leakage consumption, they also stated: ‘We have also found out that we can eliminate any by-passes that may compromise the integrity of the network, which can cause inaccurate measurements, unbalanced flows and pressure fluctuations.” With 22 Pegasus 2 pressure management systems now installed, Aqaba Water anticipates saving 200,000 m3 of water a year through targeted pressure-related leak reduction, a vital result for a desert where every cubic meter counts.
