Abstract

Distribution is an important process in water consumption from source to the customer in PDAM Tirta Bumi Serasi, Kabupaten Semarang. The water distributed flow thru pipeline network. In any case there are leaks in distribution process. It will increase cost of distribution. PDAM need a tracking system for tracking where the leak are and how much is the level of leak. Leak Tracking Information System (LTIS) is developed to handle this problem. This system will provide information of location and level leak of distribution pipe. Data need for running this system recived from existing data of PDAM, namely master data of pipe and customer, and stand meter data of pipe and customer. LTIS will calculate this data and give information to PDAM. PDAM will take an action if leak of a pipe is more than 20%. This action will reduce loss of water consumption and cost effectively.
