The Key to Optimizing Your Water Utility

From drinking and cooking to bathing and cleaning, water is essential to daily life. Which is why water utilities, just like you, deliver over 42 billion gallons daily to homes and businesses across the country. But, without proper monitoring and maintenance, your water assets quickly deteriorate—and those little drips add up. In fact, 6 billion gallons of water (enough to support 15 million households) is lost daily to leaking pipes and an additional 2 trillion gallons are lost annually to main breaks.

To keep everything flowing smoothly, you must continually juggle the budgeting and scheduling of preventative maintenance and long-term upgrades. To retrieve the information you need, you may find yourself digging through piles of paper records, trying to reconstruct the knowledge of a recently retired employee, or searching thousands of spreadsheet rows that are incomplete, maintained inconsistently, or not integrated with other vital data.
