Fresh water is the necessity of life, and, while renewable, it is but a finite resource. With an increase in populations and urban sprawl, the need for sustainable processes has never been more important. Fresh water, or drinking water, must be safe for public consumption and meet environmental and government standards. Security also plays a large role, as control systems must be secure to withstand accidental or malicious attacks. The result must be safe for municipal customers. We can help you operate more efficiently and securely while complying with current regulations.

Gaining a clear view on water production
Accurate and Timely Water Production Reports Help Comply with Regulations
The Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) is responsible for supplying clean water to more than 10 percent of the population of New Zealand.
To comply with the changing regulations, GWRC required a solution that could provide accurate and timely water production reports. These reports required access to data retrieved from its existing water treatment production and control systems. Our solutions helped them achieve that objective.
As a result, the GWRC was able to comply with government reporting requirements and improve water treatment distribution. It could also provide better information to internal and external stakeholders on water production and usage.
