Provo Water Company to take advantage of
managed services to improve water delivery
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and
services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, announced today that Provo Water Company Ltd. (PWC), water
provider to the Turks and Caicos island of Providenciales, signed a
contract with Itron to upgrade its water metering system with
Itron’s smart water solution. The utility will deploy Itron’s smart
water network and analytics, which will be managed using Itron
Total Outcomes, Itron’s managed services offering, to more
effectively deliver the islands’ limited water resources.
PWC’s potable water is produced by reverse osmosis desalination,
which is a costly process. With the Itron solution, PWC can better
account for water usage and reduce waste, protecting revenue and
conserving resources. The fixed network solution will give PWC
greater insights into its distribution system and improve meter
reading efficiency. With Itron Total Outcomes, Itron’s experienced
team will oversee all aspects of PWC’s data collection system,
reducing the burden of day-to-day management tasks. Itron will also
run and manage the analytic outcomes, delivering regular analytic
reports and providing operational recommendations to the
utility.
PWC will also use the system, integrated with its CIS billing
platform, to empower its customers to better manage their water use
by providing detailed usage information via a web portal. It will
also offer its customers more choices for payment with prepayment
and post-payment options.
“Itron’s smart water solution will greatly improve our
distribution network visibility. We will be able to monitor and
reduce non-revenue water while improving service to our customers.
With managed services, we are able to realize these benefits
efficiently, utilizing Itron’s software,” said Robert Hall,
managing director of Provo Water Company.
“Itron has the capacity and experience to provide a
comprehensive managed solution to Provo Water Company, minimizing
integration risk and bringing valuable knowledge and insights to
the deployment,” said Paula Billingham, vice president of sales,
marketing and delivery for Water North America at Itron. “Beyond
just a smart water solution, we are supporting PWC in achieving one
of its primary business objectives through the use of our analytics
software. We look forward to helping PWC achieve its goal of
reducing non-revenue water and improving service and reliability to
its customers.”
