Washington DC Water successfully installed smart meters beginning around 2001. They report by remote sensing every 15 minutes, and can detect and notify for unusual usage. So, in-house losses can be detected, but of course they do not help with distribution system losses, which is more significant. They are beginning to fail and are now being replaced with improved meters.
