Addressing the Challenge Facing Water Utilities

2. THE CHALLENGE AND BUSINESS IMPACT

3. SETTING THE SCENE
Customer

Asset &
Operations
Leadership
Environmental Management is a fundamental corporate goal
in a water utility’s mission

4. SETTING THE SCENE
There is significant data flow between
customers, utilities and regulators
CUSTOMERS
Complaints/Queries
Monthly bills
Annual Compliance Report
Boil water advisories
Other public risk notification
Educational/social
programs
Reporting templates & procedures
Lab data & CRI submission
Funding for infrastructure upgrades

5. SETTING THE SCENE
UTILITY
Tools to manage compliance information and data flow mirror the utilities’ current
siloed structure, though efficiencies can be gained through integration

6. BUSINESS IMPACT
For every 10,000 hours of work done
in a utility… 2,070 are spent on Water
Quality, Regulation or Environmental
processes
They impact more than 1 in every 2 staff in a utility
Water quality, regulation and environmental workflows are labor intensive

7. THE SOLUTION

8. BRINGING ALL WATER DATA
TOGETHER
Without joining up the data points, utilities
are not equipped to think about the bigger
picture.
An integrated approach would offer an
overarching plan for water utilities to
consider all aspects of the water
management cycle, to capture widespread
efficiency gains, while ultimately better
protecting the environment.
The Klir platform can do just that.
