With aging water mains, rising replacement costs, and increasing pressure to justify every capital dollar, utilities are being challenged to make smarter, faster, and more defensible renewal decisions. But identifying the right assets — and turning that insight into executable plans — remains a major hurdle.

In this webinar, hear from two of our clients – Portland Water Bureau (Portland, OR) and Affinity Water (UK) – as we discuss real-world perspectives on the obstacles utilities face today, from prioritization and risk balancing to organizational adoption and knowledge transfer. Discover how these forward-looking utilities are breaking through operational bottlenecks, scaling beyond pilot programs, utilizing the latest optimization technology, and building renewal strategies designed to last.

Learn how they are transforming decision-making by combining hydraulic performance with risk, condition, geospatial intelligence, and technology to generate transparent, stakeholder-ready investment plans — helping utilities move confidently from planning to execution.

You’ll gain insight into:

• What utilities are truly trying to solve with mains renewal programs
• Lessons learned from utilizing optimization technology to address the challenges – the wins and the warnings
• What it takes to normalize advanced tools across an organization
• How to communicate the “why” behind your investment strategy
• Turning pilots into business-as-usual workflows
• Developing user capability for sustained success

If you’re ready to modernize your approach and invest with greater clarity, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
