The organisers of the African Real Estate & Infrastructure Summit have announced the gold sponsorship of Utility Systems, an industry leader in the field of remote communicating electronic water control valves and STS prepayment devices. The opportunities and challenges in the South African property sector, from commercial to residential, will be in focus at the summit that returns to Sandton from 11-12 October.<\/p>\n

Some 200 property professionals are expected to attend this award-winning real estate event.<\/p>\n

Assisting Cape Town with water crisis
\u201cWe are involved in a number of projects in various parts of the world which impact water usage\u201d says Darren Oxlee, Chief Technical Officer at Utility Systems, and a featured speaker at the summit on Smart Water Management. He adds: \u201cmost pertinent at this time is the City of Cape Town: we have been deeply involved in assisting the City to manage the recent water crisis by providing a flow limitation solution to reduce household water consumption. We have more than 200,000 units deployed across the City of Cape Town. The implementation of our solution has formed part of the City\u2019s strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Utility Systems\u2019 Darren Oxlee, his vision for water management in the property sector is that: \u201cevery water consumption point should be managed and monitored with the goal of reducing non-technical losses to under 20% by 2030. At the moment it is estimated that we lose about 38% of potable water in our systems which, aside for the massive cost, unnecessarily wastes our most valuable resource.\u201d<\/p>\n

Darren\u2019s full interview can read on the event website<\/p>\n
