• What's New in Info360 Asset

  Since Info360 Asset launched a beta version in July, and its general availability at Autodesk University at the beginning of October, the Innovyze team has continued improving the product based on early customer feedback. Info360 Asset allows water utilities, local councils, their contractors, and consultants to better leverage CCTV inspections to assess conditions and risk for wastewater assets. These most recent enhancements improve business risk exposure calculations and enhance both risk and condition reporting.

• GIS Touches Every Aspect Of Central Arkansas Water

  From the management of underground assets, like pipes, valves, and meters, to an automatic fire hydrant inspection notification system to efficiencies in our billing system, GIS increases the quality of service our utility provides every day.

• The Eaton M-Max VFD Provides QuantumFlo With A Cost-Effective, Energy Efficient Solution

  Achieving consistent water pressure is a challenge for geographical areas that have grown faster than the development of infrastructures to accommodate water demand and for businesses such as fast food restaurants and strip malls.

• 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. 

• Smell Test: A Comparison And Ranking Of Hydrogen Sulfide Emission Factors

  How bad does your wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) really smell? Researchers provide a new perspective on headworks odor control and measurement.

• 'Far Out' Technology Simplifies Pipeline Leak Detection

  Satellites provide the latest, perhaps most efficient, method for spotting underground leaks, ushering in a new era of non-revenue water management.

• Identifying And Estimating The Value Of SCADA And Smart Metering Systems In Water Distribution Networks

  Considering the invaluable service provided to the society by the water companies, it is imperative to ensure their sustainability. To achieve this objective, these organizations must be allowed to fulfill their mission with effectiveness and efficiency. Information and communication technologies are especially important tools in this pursuit of enhanced performance.
