Ask. Analyze. Act: Using AI to Drive ROI from Your Water AMI System

Utilities are sitting on gold. Years of AMI reads, alerts, and work orders but turning that into action still takes scarce analysts and SQL skills. This session shows how modern AI lets operators ask plain-English questions and get trustworthy answers on leaks, backflow, and non-reads in minutes. We’ll walk through real utility scenarios, a short live demo, and a simple ROI frame you can reuse with your team. You’ll leave with a checklist to pilot AI on top of your existing data, without ripping out and replacing systems.

Key learning objectives: 

• Translate everyday utility questions into repeatable analytics (no SQL needed)
• Spot and prioritize loss, backflow, and exception patterns that move the NRW needle
• Build a fast-path pilot plan: data required, guardrails, and week one wins
