Non-Revenue Water
8:30–11:30 a.m.
Room: Mandalay Bay Ballroom K
Track: Innovation & Technology
Moderator: John Fillinger
Projects further the growth of a utility’s infrastructure and
involve a significant amount of monetary investment, and when
completed, are expected to service the utility and its customers
for decades. Challenges occur throughout the planning, design
and construction phases, and solutions are often as unique as
the problems. This session highlights design/build techniques to
get the project done. As technology has advanced, so too have opportunities for water
utilities to be smarter about their systems. In the drive to create more
efficient and sustainable water infrastructures, while reducing non-
revenue water, utilities are beginning to use Internet of Things (IoT)
technologies and existing cellular networks, next generation metering,
and end water consumer engagement tools that can broaden overall
ROI. Attendees will learn about IoT cellular networks, ultrasonic water
metering, and the benefits of customer engagement tools to monitor
water use and leaks.

Voice of the Customer: Listening to Medium Utilities
8:30–11:30 a.m.
Room: Mandalay Bay Ballroom B
Track: Innovation & Technology
Moderator: Booky Oren
The high-speed changes in the global water sector are continuously
bringing new conditions and requirements to water utilities. While
extremely large investments are needed to ensure adequate water
supply for future generations, implementing innovative technologies
might be the only way to make it realistic.
Although the North American water market remains fragmented,
utilities find common ground with similar challenges. The strength
of the water market is that utilities are not typically competitors and
would benefit from sharing of challenges to identify mutual needs
that can be pursued in collaboration, and from exchanging ideas and
success stories with peers. This session focuses on identifying the
unique challenges faced by medium-sized utilities and the next steps
toward applying innovative solutions to address utility needs.
