Bibliographic Details
Title: Small Development Efforts Deliver Big Utility Improvements.
Authors: Hardin, Scott (AUTHOR)
Source: Opflow Online. Jun2026, Vol. 52 Issue 5, p22-26. 5p.
Subject Terms: Water utilities, Environmental monitoring, Statistical reliability, Computer programmers
Abstract: A water utility facing growing operational complexity chose a different path than large system overhauls or commercial platforms. By drawing on its own institutional knowledge and developing small, targeted tools, it improved the accuracy of rate testing, the timeliness of environmental monitoring, and the speed of outage communication.
