THE INTERSECTION OF WATER, DATA, AND COLLABORATION
NORTH AMERICAN WATER UTILITIES
• Water is undervalued.
• Lack of visibility in true costs to develop, produce and deliver, maintain, and
effectively treat water supplies.
• Major funding gaps exist to replace, upgrade, improve, and maintain existing
and future infrastructure.
• Utilities must explore alternative options for funding in addition to rate
increases.
• The public demands greater transparency.
PROBLEM
Utilities are being forced to make an even more compelling case for their business
decisions and show greater value in their operations and investments, while interacting
and communicating with Stakeholders more proactively.
SMART WATER & INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
• Smart Water networks provide enhanced visibility into
operations along entire water supply chain.
• Information Technology increases efficiency of operations
and reduces costs.
• Advanced analytics provide solutions for decision makers
responsible for prioritization of capital expenditures.
• Social networks connect Utilities to end users, sharing
real time data related to water use, outages, overflows,
main line breaks, and education.

UTILITIES NEED TO CATCH UP
The water industry is a
historically fragmented
market and slow to adopt
new technology and
software.
Utilities are risk
adverse and unwilling
to experiment with new
technologies.
The business case for
software solutions and
smart water networks
is emerging slowly due
to fragmentation and
lack of interaction.
