Utilities face increasing difficulty monitoring pressure zones, water age, quality compliance, and leaks across complex, water network systems. Manual workflows and siloed data delay issue response and frustrate residents. Limited staff and rising expectations demand smarter, faster ways to detect risk and prevent failures. ### 1 in 12 Americans are served by water systems with health-based violations. *(Source: NRDC)* ### D- Grade given to U.S. drinking water infrastructure, increasing contamination risk. *(Source: ASCE Infrastructure Report Card)* ### 10M  U.S. homes still receive water through lead service lines. *(Source: EPA)* ### Top 3 Water is among the top 3 global risks identified by the World Economic Forum. *(Source: WEF Global Risk Report)* ## Challenges your peers have addressed with AURA™: - High levels of non-revenue water - Undetected silent system leaks - Inaccurate or missing meter data - Lack of visibility across district zones - Pressure anomalies going unnoticed - Uncertainty around real-time water quality [Talk to an Expert](https://www.aquasight.io/lp/talk-with-expert?hsLang=en) Case Study ### How the City of Warren reduced resident complaints and saved thousands in water loss without capital investment. [Download](https://hubs.ly/Q03nSsHW0) Case Study ### Learn how the Great Lakes Water Authority deployed AURA across 70+ communities to unify data, automate quality monitoring, and support 3.8M residents. [Download](https://hubs.ly/Q03nSsY00) The Opportunity ## Real-time network intelligence and operational recommendations leads to fewer surprises, fewer complaints, and better outcomes. Aquasight’s AURA™ platform gives utilities real-time visibility into system performance, from pressure to water quality to leak detection. By leveraging existing meters, sensors, models and GIS data, AURA™ transforms routine monitoring into proactive, predictive action helping utilities deliver safer, more efficient service across their entire water network. ![](https://www.aquasight.io/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-risk.svg) ### Water quality early warning Catch issues like low chlorine residuals or aging water before they become public health or compliance concerns. ![](https://www.aquasight.io/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-detection.svg) ### Anomaly detection Identify silent leaks, pressure fluctuations, stuck meters, and flow irregularities faster. ![](https://www.aquasight.io/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-dashboard-overlay.svg) ### Hydraulic model overlays Use real-time simulation for expected system behavior, water age, and actual vs modeled comparisons. ![](https://www.aquasight.io/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-meter.svg) ### Smart meter & water loss Identify consumption anomalies, measure water loss accurately, and create dynamic DMAs or virtual DMAs (vDMAs). ![utility worker connecting underground utility lines](https://www.aquasight.io/hs-fs/hubfs/assets/images/testimonials-respond-to-issues.jpg?width=900&height=1038&name=testimonials-respond-to-issues.jpg) > Receiving information faster makes it more actionable and means member partners can respond to potential issues before water quality is impacted. For us, this has reduced our reporting time from months to the same day and has enabled us to reallocate team members to new work.
