Urban centers face mounting pressure—to deliver reliable water services and stretch limited public funds—while contending with infrastructure that is decades past its prime.

Yet most lack a holistic view of where and when failures will occur, leading to a reactionary, fire-fighting mode that breeds inefficiency and public frustration.

Should scarce resources be spent on urgent repairs, or is there a smarter way to anticipate and prevent critical breakdowns? This dilemma leaves decision-makers in a constant balancing act, compromising both public safety and long-term financial sustainability.

The main challenge is a legacy of fragmented data, outdated asset registries, siloed departmental responsibility, and the absence of predictive analytics tailored to water infrastructure.

This makes it extremely hard for cities to accurately assess risk profiles or proactively manage capital expenditure cycles.
