Do we need to increase efficiency?

The total energy consumption of US water utilities is estimated to be 56 billion kWh equating to $4 billion annually 56 billion kWh equating to $4 billion annually 56 billion kWh equating to $4 billion annually 56 billion kWh equating to $4 billion annually in OPEX in OPEX in OPEX in OPEX (EPA)

Between 5555----10 billion Kw/h of power 10 billion Kw/h of power 10 billion Kw/h of power 10 billion Kw/h of power generated in the US is spent in water that is either leaked or not paid for by water that is either leaked or not paid for by water that is either leaked or not paid for by water that is either leaked or not paid for by spent in water that is either leaked or not paid for by water that is either leaked or not paid for by water that is either leaked or not paid for by water that is either leaked or not paid for by customers customers customers customers (AwwA)

In developing countries, about 45 million cubic meters are lost daily through water leakage in the distribution networks networks networks networks ————enough to serve nearly 200 million peopleenough to serve nearly 200 million peopleenough to serve nearly 200 million peopleenough to serve nearly 200 million people (WB).

Energy prices increase at a faster rate than water tariffs meaning reduced margins for water utilities.


Framework: Improving efficiency

↑ CAPEX for improving efficiency: i.e. pipe replacement, installation of VSP,… Fine, but:

• High amounts • Approval periods• High amounts• Budgetary

constraints

• Approval periods• Implementation

periods

Current IT capacity is not used at a 100%

• Not getting the best out of the investments

• Projects are not aligned

• Data silos

SWN: Fundamentals

Smart Water Network’s fundamentals - The 3 I’s:Information: Realizing your full potential - SWN makes use of information that you might not know you have

Integration: Make the best of your investments - SWN are able to make the best of the current IT installed base: your current investments

Innovation: The constant future – SWN are flexible enough to take over the utility’s challenges as they come.

Conclusions

SWN solutions complements CAPEX

GIS as centric system to integrate and display utility key

information coming from different IT platforms

Planned implementation is key: Remember the 3 I’sPlanned implementation is key: Remember the 3 I’s

Your utility already has some of the tools – Use them!

You will get benefits and features not available otherwise

Systems integration provides both operational and business

management oriented benefits

Better ROI by maximizing your existing IT systems
