Standardized water usage data and access to that data through a common format like Green Button could enable more efficient water use. If water utilities provided consumers access to detailed water usage data in a standardized way, it would allow for the development of applications to help consumers better understand and reduce their water usage. The federal government should convene utilities and technology companies to work towards adopting the Green Button standard for water data in order to spur innovation and data-driven conservation solutions.

Investigations into the lifetime of gas meter batteries in the NetherlandsMachiel Joosse
At 2020 there will be about seven million smart gas meters installed in the Netherlands, using batteries that are supposed to last for about 20 years. The long lifetime of the batteries is crucial, because an operation to replace them would be on a large scale and therefore expensive. Distribution System Operators (DSO’s) have to be able to rely on a lengthy lifetime. The Dutch DSO’s Netherlands (within Netbeheer Nederland), joined forces to carry out a unique study of the predicted and actual battery lifetime. In this study, batteries were examined from gas meters that had already been operating for 4-5 years. The results were promising: after 4-5 years: the actual (practical) lifetime of the batteries examined turned out to be in line with the predicted (theoretical) values.
Thirty Years of Software Problems in the NewsBryan Dosono
How have the consequences of software problems changed over the past 30 years? To begin to answer this question, we analyzed 386,381 news articles reporting on software problems published between 1980 and 2012, spanning widely circulated newspapers to small trade magazines. Our results show that after an increase in reporting just prior to Y2K, news on software problems has declined in North America, but increased in the rest of the world. Most articles only report minor consequences such as frustration, confusion, anger, or at worst, having to delay some activity for a few hours, usually due to service outages in government, transportation, finance, and information services. However, about once per month, the news reports at least one death, injury, or threatened access to food or shelter due to software problems. Reports of these severe consequences are also increasing, due primarily to stories about transportation and government software.

WITH RAPID URBANIZATION and growing water scarcity from climate change, cities are being challenged to deliver water as efficiently as possible as well as balance rising demand with limited supplies. To manage limited water supplies efficiently, cities and their water utilities are turning to Information
and communication technologies (ICT). There are two beneficial
aspects of turning to ICT solutions to ensure the efficient
use of precious supplies. First, ICT can reduce water losses
in the system - non-revenue water - which is the difference
between what is pumped, treated, and supplied to the
distribution system compared to what reaches customers: in many cities around the world, non-revenue water can be up
to 20% or more of the total.

How to Promote Smarter Water Use
by Giving Consumers Access to Their
Consumption Data
By Daniel Castro & Brandon De Bruhl | September 7, 2015
In many parts of the United States, water is quickly
becoming a scarce resource. Data-driven insights can
enable utilities and consumers to manage water use
better, identify leaks sooner, and discover opportunities to
use water more efficiently. To help unlock innovative uses
of water data, utilities should provide consumers open
access to their water usage data in a standardized format.
The federal government should support this goal by
encouraging water utilities to do this using the “Green
Button” data standard, which has already been adopted
by the energy industry to provide consumers access to
their utility data.
Most consumers do not know how much water they use on a daily basis or
how their water consumption over time compares to that of others because
they receive little such information on their monthly or quarterly utility bill.
As a result, consumers receive little direct feedback on how changes in
their behaviors, household appliances, or plumbing impact their
consumption. This is a missed opportunity for people to save money on
their water bills while contributing to greater environmental sustainability.
Advances in sensor technology and the introduction of smart water meters
are creating new ways to capitalize on this opportunity by capturing
detailed water data and providing consumers timely information that can
help them better understand and manage their individual water usage
footprint. Utilities should facilitate this kind of data-driven water
conservation by providing consumers access to their water consumption
data in a standardized format. A single, industry-wide standard will make it
The federal government
should issue a high-
profile call to action to
spur water utilities to
begin providing
consumers access to
their data using an
industry-wide standard.
2. 2
easier for software developers to build a variety of applications that
leverage water data to optimize water conservation.
In 2011, the federal government led a successful call to action for electric
utilities to voluntarily join the “Green Button” initiative, a project to provide
consumers direct access to their energy usage data in a standardized
format by clicking a uniformly branded green button on their utilities’
websites.1 The Green Button initiative created a standard for reporting and
exchanging utility usage data among providers, third-party developers, and
consumers. Water utilities need a similar high-profile call to action to adopt
the standard and begin providing consumers access to their data.
Therefore, the White House should convene a national summit on water
data to bring together utilities, government agencies, technology
companies, and civic hackers to work toward a common goal of providing
consumers meaningful access to their water utility data. In addition, the
federal government should help spur adoption through grants to local
governments and early adoption by federal agencies.
THE BENEFITS CONSUMER ACCESS TO STANDARDIZED
WATER DATA
There are many ways that consumers might benefit from having access to
their water data. For example, they could use apps to analyze their water
consumption patterns and determine which water-saving household
improvements would generate the greatest savings. Or they could
subscribe to an online service that detects and sends real-time alerts
about anomalous increases in water consumption that might be indicative
of a leaking pipe. Consumers could also share their water usage data with
third parties to generate household water efficiency scores. These scores
could help households better market their water-efficient homes and
reward those who invest in these types of updates.
It is not enough for utilities to provide consumers access to their water
data, though. This data must also be provided in a standardized format.
For third-party developers, a single industry-wide data standard would
simplify the process of creating digital services for utilities or mobile
applications for consumers, since applications would not need to be
interoperable with a wide range of data standards. A single data standard
also would increase the potential market for products or services, creating
more incentive for innovation. For water utilities, a common standard
would facilitate data exchange with others in the industry, and lead to
better industry analysis and forecasting. It would also allow utilities to lower
their costs by developing shared data analysis tools, which can translate to
lower rates for consumers.
3. 3
Consumers could benefit from a common data standard by having more
options to access and analyze their water data through online dashboards
and mobile applications. Since many are already beginning to gain access
to other utility data, such as gas and electricity usage, making water
consumption data available will create additional benefits that come from
being able to analyze different types of utility data together. For example,
consumers might use the data to determine the cost savings of updating a
washing machine, which impacts both water and energy consumption.
THE STATE OF WATER DATA TODAY
Water usage data comes from water meters. Until recently, most water
meters were purely analog devices, which required a worker from the utility
to manually view each meter to take a reading. Utilities have begun to
install more advanced water meters that collect and transmit water usage
data electronically so that the utility can remotely read the meter. In
addition, some utilities have begun to deploy smart water meters, which in
addition to providing automatic meter reading, collect more detailed data
and provide features such as remote disconnects.2
The United States is still in the early stage of deploying smart water meters.
Nationwide, less than 20 percent of the one hundred million metered water
customers have smart meters.3 However, where smart meters have gained
a foothold, communities have seen substantial savings. Smart meters can
also help spot businesses or homeowners who ignore mandatory water
restrictions. For example, the water utility in Long Beach, California, has
used smart meter data in this way.4 Over the long term, better data from
smart meters can help policymakers make the most use of limited
resources, for example by prioritizing water efficiency grants for the most
effective updates to businesses and homes, or by deploying new pricing
models that reward efficiency.
The biggest challenge in providing consumers standardized access to their
water data is coordination, since there are roughly 52,000 water utilities in
the United States.5 These utilities vary in terms of size, ownership
structure, and government oversight. Private water companies often
operate in multiple local jurisdictions and, in some cases, multiple states.
State water commissions and boards regulate these utilities, and each may
set different water data reporting standards.
HOW TO CREATE AN INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR
CONSUMER WATER DATA
The water industry can build on the success of the energy industry in
providing consumers standardized access to their data. In 2011, the White
House challenged electric and gas utilities to adopt a common standard for
4. 4
reporting consumer energy usage.6 Since then, approximately 3,200 utility
companies across the United States have adopted the Green Button
standard, including 200 investor-owned companies, 900 rural electricity
cooperatives, and 2,100 public utilities.7 In total, approximately 60 million
homes and businesses now have access to Green Button data.8 Third-party
developers have used the Green Button standard to create dozens of new
digital products and services, including consumer dashboards, mobile
applications, and push notifications for peak and trough usage times.9 For
example, the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga used the Green Button
standard to build a dashboard to allow its 170,000 residential customers
to compare their usage against others in the community.10 A non-profit
organization that promotes sustainable energy built an app that lets users
upload their energy usage data to discover their return on investment if
they were to install solar panels.11
Although the Green Button standard has been adopted principally by
electric and gas utilities, it was designed to work with all utility data.
Utilities should therefore make water data available to consumers using
the Green Button standard. Adoption of this standard is not likely to occur
quickly without government intervention. This is a collective action problem
where there is little incentive for any particular utility to adopt the standard
unless everyone else does as well. To overcome this problem, the White
House should convene a summit on water data to encourage stakeholders,
including water utilities, technology companies, and civic technologists to
adopt the Green Button standard and develop a roadmap for providing
consumers meaningful use of their water utility data. By vocally
championing this technology, the White House will be able to bring together
various stakeholders who might otherwise ignore this opportunity.
In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in
conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, should offer a series of
grants to spur the development of technologies that would use
standardized water data and implementation of the Green Button
standard. By funding the initial development of technologies that use the
water data, these agencies can help overcome the “chicken or egg”
problem—developers do not want to create apps until there is data, but
utilities do not want to make data available unless there are apps. Finally,
the General Services Administration (GSA) should commit to adopting the
Green Button standard for water data in federal buildings, much as it has
done for energy usage, and make any open source tools it develops to use
this data publicly available. By doing so, GSA can provide an initial set of
tools to ensure that others in the private sector who manage buildings can
benefit from access to water data.
5. 5
CONCLUSION
Standardizing consumer water data is the first step to spurring data-driven
water conservation. Consumers will be able to gain a better understanding
of their water usage if utilities give them access to their data. The Green
Button standard is a model industry-led program that the federal
government should support expanding to water utilities by bringing
together stakeholders, funding pilot projects, and acting as an early
adopter.
