Welcome to BowSel
BowSel, LLC was built to solve one of the biggest problems facing water systems today, non-revenue water.
Since 2017, we’ve helped municipalities uncover hidden leaks, reduce water loss, and turn inefficiencies into measurable financial gains. Our approach focuses on real results, improving system performance, lowering costs, and helping clients recover revenue that would otherwise be lost.
About Us
At BowSel, we focus on delivering practical, measurable results. Every system is different, so we take a tailored approach to identifying water loss, analyzing infrastructure, and implementing solutions that make an immediate impact.
Using advanced leak detection technology, GPS mapping, and detailed system audits, we provide clear insights that help utilities make informed decisions. Our goal is not just to find problems, but to deliver solutions that improve efficiency, extend infrastructure life, and create long-term value for the systems we serve.
Available Services
Acoustic Leak Detection
To eliminate costly guesswork, BowSel, LLC utilizes various techniques, along with the most advanced acoustic equipment to pinpoint the exact point of your leak, without excavation. This saves time, labor, and most importantly money.
Water/ Infrastructure Leak Index (ILI) Audits
BowSel, LLC can conduct an extensive audit of your water system per AWWA requirements to determine your level of loss and consumption. This audit will help guide the focus of your loss remediation and will save you money and time by distinguishing real versus apparent losses.
GPS Line Locating & Mapping
All BowSel results will be GPS located and downloadable to an existing GIS system, or saved in a Google Mapping file. This will allow you to have an accurate record of your repair efforts and locations of your mains. BowSel also offers main, meter, valve, and hydrant GPS location mapping.
