Key Highlights:

  • Hydraulic Modeling for Real-Time Insights: AQUA utilized OpenFlows Water to create a virtual replica of the entire water system. This real-time modeling environment allowed them to accurately identify impacted areas, make data-driven decisions, and forecast a recovery plan.
  • Effective Communication: Bentley was able to work closely with the local Danville operations team. This digital approach enabled them to issue a timely water boil advisory and develop a structured recovery plan.
  • Optimized Emergency Response: The hydraulic model helped reduce the number of affected customers from 20,000 to just over 2,000 and accelerated the recovery schedule by a few days. This project set a new standard for emergency response across 1,700 systems.

Benefits of Digitalization:

  • Accurate Network Performance: Real-time insights into network performance allowed strategic communication with the community, local authorities, and regulators.
  • Enhanced Resiliency: The project demonstrated the importance of resiliency and operational insight, ensuring networks can handle future emergencies effectively.
