Water Utilities

Building an asset inventory is fundamental to every water utility. Esri’s ArcGIS provides the capabilities to consolidate asset data into a single repository and build a digital scale model representation of the network. The ability to edit, visualize and share data in the field and office improves utility operations and planning.  

Water utilities are challenged by consumers to provide better service. This can come in the form of improved communications on operations impacting clients. Being able to share water outage events and the estimated time of restoration, or making it easier for customers to interact with the utility results in more informed, knowledgeable, and satisfied customers.

ArcGIS empowers utility field workers with mobile apps that allow the ability to view, query and edit asset information remotely, saving both time and money. The apps are configurable and easy-to-use and the data can easily be shared with the back office. By leveraging the power of location, ArcGIS helps utilities understand where work needs to be done and coordinate resources. 

GIS integrates multiple sources of data including real-time data. The ability to understand the situation at any given moment helps with the analysis, coordination and communication of a response. Faster and more accurate locating of network or asset failures with a GIS makes for a more effective utility.
