Provo Water Company to take advantage of managed services to improve
water delivery
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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."
