📍 Ever questioned whether a pipe really needs replacing—or how to stretch a budget without risking failure? This one’s for you. Bridget Garlinghouse is headed to the Montana Section American Water Works Association Joint Conference in Billings, Montana next week. She’ll be sharing how AI is helping water utilities plan smarter—with more data-backed optimization and fewer guesswork-driven decisions. Her talk breaks down how utilities are moving beyond age and break history to make capital planning decisions they can stand behind—today, next year, and twenty years from now.

Cory Sides was all smiles at #TexasWater2025 in the Ferguson booth—the kind he usually saves for those moments when an asset’s risk score drops dramatically. Turns out, great conversations with Texas utilities have the same effect. 😄 Big thanks to Ferguson for sharing your booth space with us, and to Matthew Harris, Managing Director at Smart Actuation for being the best booth neighbor Cory could’ve asked for. Cory had the chance to connect with water utilities from all across Texas and beyond—and came back buzzing about the curiosity, urgency, and openness water professionals brought to the table. Topics like rising break rates, water supply risks, and NRW reporting weren’t just talked about—they were tackled head-on, with serious interest in new solutions. Events like #TexasWater2025 remind us just how committed this community is to solving tough challenges, together. Thanks again, Texas! 🤠💧 Texas AWWA and Water Environment Association of Texas #WaterUtilities #AssetManagement #InfrastructureInnovation #SmartWater #NonRevenueWater

📢 There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to water loss. That’s the message our Director of Sales, Joseph Engram is bringing to #ALMSWater2025. In his session, “No Silver Bullet – Adopting a Holistic Approach to NRW Recovery,” he’ll walk through how utilities can tackle #NRW using proactive, tech-forward strategies that work together—not in isolation. The result? More recovered revenue, longer asset life, and more efficient operations. This presentation is a must for anyone serious about reducing Non-Revenue Water for good.

🦖🍺 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐃𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐫—𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬 We know that water professionals are already well aware of the global water crisis—this isn’t news to you. But as this year’s #WorldWaterDay focuses on Glacier Preservation, we’re taking the opportunity to bring the conversation to a wider audience. Awareness is the first step toward action—and small actions add up. 💡 “Save water—drink beer” is more real than you think. It takes 20 gallons of water to produce one pint of beer (Source: WaterFootprintNetwork). So, when you conserve water, you’re not just helping the planet—you’re ensuring there’s more left for the important things in life. 😉 ✅ Fix Leaks Promptly & Stop Water Waste: A dripping faucet can waste 3,000+ gallons of water per year, and U.S. households alone waste over 1 trillion gallons annually—enough for 11 million homes (Source: US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 💡 The water you drink today might have been sipped by a dinosaur. Water is billions of years old and constantly recycled through the water cycle. So that glass of water? It might have been part of a prehistoric river—or even a dinosaur’s drink! (Source: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)) ✅ Keep Our Water Clean: Avoid single-use plastics—bags, straws, takeout containers, and food wrappers as they often end up in rivers and oceans. 💡️ Glaciers are Earth’s backup water supply—but they’re melting fast. Glaciers store nearly 70% of the world’s freshwater, acting as nature’s reservoir. But with climate change accelerating, it’s like watching the planet’s savings account drain away. (Source: World Meteorological Organization) ✅ Take Shorter Showers: Heating water accounts for 18% of household energy use (Source: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)). Reducing shower time by just a few minutes saves both water and energy, helping to protect our freshwater resources and slow glacial melt. Water is life. Every action matters. Let’s use #WorldWaterDay to reach beyond the water sector and bring more people into the conversation. Talk about it. Share this post. Encourage action. #WorldWaterDay #WaterConservation #ClimateAction #Sustainability #SaveOurGlaciers

💡 Knowing when to leave pipes alone saved Tucson Water millions. Elizabeth Macias and her team used VODA.ai's data insights to collaborate with the City of Tucson's Department of Transportation and Parks & Recreation department. Equipped with the insight of which pipes were in good condition, Tucson Water prevented unnecessary replacements using VODA.ai's AI-calculated #RUL. The result? $5.4M in avoided costs and a smarter approach to infrastructure planning. Smart decisions like these are shaping the future of utilities. 📖 Read on to learn how they did it: https://hubs.ly/Q03bSyG50 #WaterUtilities #AssetManagement #SmartInfrastructure #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning

🎯 That's a wrap at #SCEC2025! Despite Joseph Engram's intense expression (trust us when we say that this is what a focused Joe looks like 😊 ), we had a fantastic time connecting with everyone at the South Carolina Environmental Conference. Highlights included Joe's talk on "Prioritizing Water Infrastructure with Artificial Intelligence" where he shared how #WaterUtilities are using #AI to predict main breaks and leaks before they happen. Learn how utilities across the country, including South Carolina’s largest water utility Greenville Water, are using predictive analytics to reduce failures, save resources and prevent service disruptions. Check out our case studies: https://hubs.ly/Q03bv1-B0 Thank you #SCEC2025 for offering a vital hub where South Carolina water professionals find both inspiration and solutions to advance our industry together. #WaterInfrastructure #AssetManagement #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #LeakDetection #DataDrivenDecisions
