For cities and towns

Municipal water loss and building energy, managed and verified for cities.

A city cuts municipal water loss by measuring supply against metered and billed use, district by district, and fixing the districts where loss rises. Aqueduct does this alongside the SCADA and AMI a city already runs, and applies the same measured baselines to city buildings for energy benchmarking and verified savings.

Find municipal water loss by district, and benchmark city buildings on measured data.

Municipal water loss

Every district balanced, every repair verified

  • District balances

    Supply is reconciled against metered and billed use per district, so loss has an address.

  • Night flow baselines

    Minimum night flow is baselined per district, so rising real losses stand out quickly.

  • Repairs confirmed

    After a repair, the district balance confirms the loss stopped, for the council and the auditor.

City energy benchmarking

City buildings benchmarked on measured data, all year

  • Baselines all year

    Every city building is tracked against a weather-normalized baseline, not rebuilt from bills at deadline.

  • Ready for filings

    Verified monthly metrics export for benchmarking rules, while your team keeps control of filing.

  • Savings in money

    Rate configuration from city bills turns each saving into money for the budget office.

Alongside SCADA

Works with the systems the city already runs

  • SCADA keeps control

    Aqueduct reads SCADA and AMI data and routes work, while network control stays with SCADA.

  • Work into your CMMS

    Repairs route into the city's CMMS with the district, the evidence and the likely location.

  • On-prem option

    Deploy on-prem, with on-prem AI on NVIDIA infrastructure, where city data must stay on site.

How does this week compare to the last few weeks?
12% below last week, driven by lower HVAC load on weekday afternoons. Two days had low meter coverage.

Old way vs the Aqueduct way

Running a city, before and after Aqueduct

The old way
  • The annual audit says how much water was lost, not where.
  • Benchmarking is rebuilt from bills gathered at the deadline.
  • SCADA, AMI and billing each tell a different story.
  • A main repair closes when the crew leaves the site.
  • Council hears about savings that nobody measured.
The Aqueduct way
  • Loss is localized to a district and a section of main.
  • Benchmarking rests on baselines kept current all year.
  • SCADA, AMI and billing reconcile into one district balance.
  • A repair closes when the district balance confirms it held.
  • Council sees savings verified at the meter.
The problem

Where a city loses water and energy.

Two estates, one budget: the water network and the public buildings it feeds.

01

Non-revenue water without an address

The annual audit says how much water was lost. It does not say which district, which main or which week.

02

Benchmarking built from bills

City buildings are reported once a year from bills gathered at the deadline, with no link to what the building is doing today.

03

Public buildings running blind

City halls, libraries, pools and rec centers run on schedules nobody has checked in years.

04

Small public works teams

The same crew covers mains, pump stations and buildings, and needs to know where to go first.

Problem, solution, impact

Problem, solution, impact.

Water, energy, air and operations with equal weight.

The problemHow Aqueduct solves itThe impact
Water

Real losses are known only as an annual total.

Night flow baselined per district metered area from SCADA and AMI data. Districts flagged when loss rises above their model. Powered by aQ WaterGuard.

Non-revenue water with an address, and each repair verified when night flow returns to baseline.

Energy

Benchmarking numbers arrive once a year and change nothing.

Weather-normalized baseline for every municipal building, tracked daily. Powered by aQ EnergySmart.

Benchmarking data drawn from meters, and savings verified building by building.

Air

Libraries and offices get complaints, not records.

CO2 and comfort per zone, overlaid with occupancy. Powered by aQ AirSafe.

Public spaces held to target when they are in use.

Operations

Pump station and building faults wait for a call.

Faults and early signs of failure flagged, with tickets routed to your CMMS.

Verified closures for the council report.

One incident, start to finish

One water loss incident, start to finish.

A district metered area, followed through the five steps.

Monitor

Network flow and pressure from SCADA and AMI, plus building meters, read into Aqueduct.

Measure

A night flow baseline per district metered area and a weather-normalized baseline per building.

Identify

District 6 loss above its model. Night flow up.

Act

Work order routed to the utility crew with the likely section of main.

Verify

Night flow back to baseline. Loss reduction verified and reported.

Smart city water management that ends at the meter.

Smart city water management is more than a map of sensors. It is finding the loss, fixing it and proving it.

District water balance

Supply into each district compared with metered and billed use, so loss has a location.

Night flow baselines

Minimum night flow modeled per district, so a new leak stands out against its own history.

Pump stations and plants

Energy per pump station baselined, with early signs of failure: vibration, sound signature, energy drift.

Municipal buildings

City halls, libraries, pools and depots on one portfolio view, ranked against their own baselines.

Benchmarking exports

Metered energy and water per building, ready for ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.

On-prem where required

Cloud or on-prem, with on-prem AI on NVIDIA infrastructure.

What we believe

A city should find its water loss before residents read about it.

City energy benchmarking, on measured data.

Many cities report their own buildings under a local benchmarking ordinance or performance standard. Check the current rule for your city.

Who it is for

The questions each city seat asks.

Public works director
“Does it work across my network, alongside my SCADA and meters?”

Yes. It reads network data from SCADA, AMI and historians. Control stays with SCADA.

City manager or CAO
“Can I show council a verified saving?”

Every saving is measured against a baseline modeled before the work and confirmed at the meter.

Sustainability officer
“Do we meet the benchmarking ordinance?”

Aqueduct supplies the measured energy and water data the filing needs. Your team files it.

Water utility manager
“Which district should the crew go to tonight?”

The district whose night flow has risen furthest above its own model, with the likely section of main.

Questions

Common questions

By measuring supply against metered and billed use in each district, finding the districts where loss rises, and fixing them. Aqueduct baselines night flow per district and verifies each repair when flow returns to baseline.

No. Aqueduct works alongside your SCADA, AMI and historians. It reads network data; control stays with SCADA.

It supplies the measured volumes per district that a water audit needs, continuously, and shows where real losses are. Your team completes and files the audit.

Yes. It keeps metered energy and water per building current all year and exports it for ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Check the current rule for what your city must report.

Yes. Aqueduct can be deployed on-prem, with AI on NVIDIA infrastructure.
