The Regional Municipality of Durham covers a large geographic area to the east of the City of Toronto. The Region covers an area of 2,523km2 (974mi2) which includes several large cities and towns with a rapidly growing population of over 700,000 people. The Region obtains water from Lake Ontario, Lake Simcoe, and groundwater systems. The water distribution systems include:
Union Water treats and supplies water to 65,000 people in Kingsville, Leamington, and parts of Lakeshore and Essex. The water network consists of a treatment plant, booster pumping station, reservoir and four elevated tanks. Within the network Union Water has installed 26 flow meters, as well as 20 hydrant.AI pressure monitoring units. Each of the four municipalities operate as individual zones with interconnections in place in case of an emergency. The system is operated by the Ontario Clean Water Agency, and the hydrant.AI system was deployed to provide greater insight into the distribution system pressures.

Utilities often are reacting to these events when a call is received from a local resident that notices water running down the road or finds that their shower pressure is much lower than expected.
