Smart Water Meets Finance
There’s no denying that technology has pervaded our lives, both personal and professional.

A Flexible Approach to Metering and AMI Deployment

Conserving Our Most Precious Resource
From space, the blue and green marble we call home looks deceptively watery. It’s true that about 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, but most of it — over 96% — is saltwater. That leaves about 3.5% in the form of freshwater. But, here’s the thing: Most of THAT is locked up […]
World Backup Day: Protect Yourself Against Data Loss
It happens to the best of us: the unexpected demise of a trusty computer or cell phone (or perhaps a poorly executed keystroke… Hey, it was an accident!) results in losing precious data… documents, reports, contacts, logins, customer information, even that cute pic of you and your dog from last Halloween. Gone in an instant. […]

How a Customer Service Manager Became a Water Hero
Are you sitting down? Comfortable? Good, because we have a story to share with you. Our tale begins in a squat, square building with few distinguishing features.

Missing Something? Address Water Loss Head On
Water loss too often gets dismissed. Yet, if you are talking to your water utility’s board of directors and 30% of your presentation wasn’t heard or seen by them, you’d stop immediately to diagnose the problem. If it was beyond your capabilities, you’d grab an expert to help solve the issue. What about water loss […]
Water Stewardship – Because Everyone is a Water Manager
Smart water technology has evolved the water utility’s role within municipalities to have a seat at the proverbial Smart City table, participate in the IoT plan, and drive water stewardship. There are many benefits to replacing your meter system with AMI (Advanced Meter Infrastructure) technology. For the utility, the game-changer is when you couple it […]
AI & the Water Sector
Much has been speculated already about how emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence can help out many sectors, including the water sector. It might seem like a far-fetched idea for some utilities; however, as we are well into 2020 now, some companies are already helping to forge this into reality.
Combatting Tech Fatigue in the Water Industry

In a time where we are tethered to our tech, it can feel impossible to perform our day-to-day duties without the help […]
Measure What Matters
We’ve heard it for years…
Can You Imagine A Day Without Water?

Disruption: It’s Not Just about Tech
Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen first coined the phrase “disruptive innovation” in his 1997 book, The Innovator’s Dilemma. According to Christensen, disruptive innovation happens when “a product or service initially takes root in simple applications at the bottom of a market—typically by being less expensive and more accessible—and then relentlessly moves upmarket, eventually displacing […]
Building Trust By Building on the Customer Experience: AI and Water
Branding and customer experience are complicated in an industry where customers don’t have a choice in their water and wastewater service provider. Historically, water utilities focused on protecting public health and the environment, which are important to the health and vitality of a community. But water utilities are more than environmental and public health entities; […]
