Halifax Water to utilize Itron’s smart water
solution and SaaS to improve customer service and upgrade
infrastructure
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and
services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, and Halifax Regional Water Commission have entered into a
contract to modernize the utility’s water distribution system. The
utility, which provides water, wastewater and stormwater services
to residents of the Halifax Regional Municipality, the capital of
Nova Scotia, Canada, will deploy Itron’s smart water solution and
analytic software-as-a-service as part of its Advanced Metering
Infrastructure (AMI) Project. The project aims to provide more
customer-focused and efficient services to residents
and improve overall system infrastructure.
With Itron’s smart water solution, Halifax Water
will increase consumer convenience by giving customers the
ability to track and manage water usage. It will also enable
customers and the utility to identify potential leaks on the
customer premise in a proactive manner, which will help prevent
wasted water and related high bills. With detailed meter data,
Halifax Water can be more responsive to customer inquiries. Halifax
Water proposes to eventually move to monthly billing, which will
allow customers to manage their budgets more effectively. The
solution will also give the utility more operations capability so
it can improve water distribution system management.
“Halifax Water’s mission is to provide world-class services for
our customers and our environment. AMI technology forms the
backbone of the utility of the future, which reflects more
customer-focused and efficient services. We will benefit from
Itron’s expertise as a world-leader in modernizing utility
operations and improving water management,” said Carl Yates,
general manager of Halifax Water.
“Halifax Water and its customers will greatly benefit from
Itron’s smart water solution, which provides improved visibility
into system operations and gives consumers more control over their
water usage,” said Paula Billingham, vice president of sales,
marketing and delivery for Water North America at Itron. “Water is
a precious resource and every drop counts, which is why Itron is
glad to help Halifax Water modernize its distribution system to
improve the management of its water resources.”
