Digital Water Infrastructure Strategies to Strengthen Smaller Communities

Water utilities face a complex mix of challenges—from aging infrastructure and water loss to climate-related disruptions and limited budgets. This panel discussion will explore how digital transformation is enabling smarter master planning and more resilient utility operations.

A real-world example, the City of Lake Jackson’s collaboration with Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. (LAN) will be highlighted. Using Bentley OpenFlows Water, the city identified and addressed water age issues, reducing waste, improving water quality, and improving customer service. This case study illustrates how digital engineering solutions can empower smaller communities to optimize performance and plan for long-term sustainability.\

The conversation will focus on how technologies like hydraulic modeling, scenario planning, and smart asset management are helping utilities shift from reactive maintenance to proactive, data-driven decision-making. Panelists will share strategic insights into improving operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and public trust through digital innovation.

The AMI Project Planning Illusion – Treating Technology Like Concrete

Most AMI projects don’t fail because of bad technology. They fail because utilities approach procurement and financing the wrong way—treating AMI like a one-time purchase instead of a living system. Bonds may work for bridges, but they’re mismatched for fast-moving technologies like metering and data platforms.

In this webinar, we’ll unpack the common financial and political traps utilities fall into during AMI planning, from hidden lifecycle costs to change order purgatory. More importantly, we’ll explore alternative procurement models—like metering-as-a-service—that align incentives, reduce risk, and help utilities finally achieve the outcomes AMI promises. Attendees will leave with a new lens for AMI planning: it’s not about the meters, it’s about the money.

The Value of Accuracy — Unlocking Financial and Operational Gains with Ultrasonic Water Metering 

Join Kamstrup for a deep dive into the measurable value of ultrasonic accuracy in water metering. This session will explore how Kamstrup’s state-of-the-art ultrasonic meters deliver industry-leading and long lasting measuring accuracy—including ultra-low flow detection—which translates directly into financial, operational, and sustainability benefits for utilities.

The webinar will feature two segments:
Sondra Brown, Kamstrup’s Meter Product Manager, will examine the technical foundation behind Kamstrup’s accuracy. She’ll cover key specifications, operational characteristics, and the standards gap that makes accuracy more critical than ever.
James Swantek, Enterprise Account Executive, will connect the dots between precision metering and business outcomes—from increased revenue recovery and reduced non-revenue water to improved energy efficiency and customer satisfaction. 

Key takeaways:

• How to interpret accuracy tables and why existing standards fall short
• The financial impact of capturing low-flow consumption
• The role of meter accuracy in operational insights and sustainable planning
• Real-world utility case studies demonstrating ROI and improved efficiency

Whether you’re optimizing capital spend or improving revenue realization, this session offers critical insights for both technical teams and financial leaders.

Plug the Leaks: Smarter Revenue Collection for Modern Utilities 

As federal policies evolve under new executive orders and agency rule changes, public utility organizations across the U.S. are facing mounting pressure to become more financially self-reliant. Add inflation and shrinking funding into the mix, and it’s clear: doing more with less has become a constant challenge. 

One of the most powerful levers at your disposal? Smarter, more strategic revenue collection. 

Join Greg Weppler, Product Director at Euna Payments, for a timely and practical session designed specifically for revenue teams in the public utility sector. We’ll explore the real-world impact of today’s policy changes—and show you how to take control of your revenue collection strategy to plug the leaks, reduce inefficiencies, and boost sustainability. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

✅ How recent federal policy shifts are affecting utility revenue collection 
✅ Practical, tactical steps to optimize your collection process and reduce revenue leakage 
✅ How modern payments technology can simplify compliance, decrease delinquencies, and free your team from manual work 

Don’t miss this opportunity to walk away with tools, insights, and next steps your team can start using right away. 

Transforming Water Operations: The Power of Digital Twins for Utilities of All Sizes

In an era where water utilities face increasing pressure to improve operations, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, digital twins have emerged as a transformative solution. They integrate systems and analyze siloed data, utilize AI-powered leak detection, and provide situational intelligence for improving decision making. They help identify network issues, minimize downtime, reduce costs and maximize efficiency.

This webinar will feature a panel discussion that will explore how digital twins can benefit water utilities of all sizes—including small systems—by providing innovative tools to tackle pressing challenges in the water sector.

This session will address:

• How digital twins are reducing non-revenue water loss and improving operational efficiency
• Operational pressures faced by water utilities and the need for efficiency
• How digital twins can help utilities “do more with less”
• Solutions for small systems facing unique challenges
• Strategies for leveraging funding to enhance digital infrastructure.

Join us to discover how digital twins are changing the landscape of water operations, making advanced technology accessible and beneficial for utilities of all sizes.
