• Set For The Future—San Juan Water Implements Esri's ArcGIS Utility Network And Cityworks Computer Maintenance Management System

  San Juan Water District (SJWD) has used ArcGIS Utility Network as a foundation for the organization's computer maintenance management system (CMMS) implementation, which uses Cityworks. The Utility Network and the CMMS work from one centralized database for water distribution. The field crews can access the latest information and use the networking analysis capabilities for outage events via tablets in the field or a web browser in the office. The integration of these systems has improved reporting and inspection workflows while providing a single, authoritative source of truth.

• Town Of Castle Rock, CO Reduces Water Age By 35% Through Desktop Operational Optimization Study

  Castle Rock Water teamed with Optimatics to consider whether modifying the operation of the Castle Rock water distribution network could improve water age across the system. The purpose of the Castle Rock optimization study was to assess system operations and determine whether changes to the way the system is operated could reduce water age across the system, particularly in some problematic storage tanks. Water age is a concern for many water utilities since it is a major factor in the deterioration of water quality in distribution systems.
