Chios is a picturesque Greek island in the Aegean Sea, known for its medieval villages, distinctive mastic production, attractive beaches and rich Byzantine heritage. The local authorities have taken a decisive step towards increased water sustainability. To help drastically reduce non-billable water leakage and ensure both the supply and quality in their potable water distribution network, The Chios Municipal Water and Wastewater Company of the Island awarded ABB a contract to deliver an advanced telemetry system.

The comprehensive agreement includes designing, supplying and installing the complete water management system, from advanced leak detection technology to high-efficiency pumps. ABB will deliver an integrated solution tailored to the island’s specific needs. The contract also includes the development of a containerized power station that transforms and distributes electricity to power the entire water management infrastructure.
