Case Study: City of Boulder achieves lower costs and improved water quality with Aquatic Informatics WIMS

City of Boulder cuts water report entry from 8–10 hours to 15 minutes with Aquatic Informatics

The City of Boulder faced challenges in managing and analyzing vast amounts of water treatment operations data. Their existing systems made it difficult to access information, run analyses for operational decisions, and complete cumbersome regulatory reporting. This limited their ability to optimize processes and placed a significant time burden on staff. To address this, the city turned to a solution from vendor Aquatic Informatics, an information management system called WIMS.

By implementing Aquatic Informatics' WIMS, the city created a centralized database that streamlined data entry and automated reporting. This solution drastically reduced the time spent on state compliance reports from 8-10 hours per month to just 15 minutes. The utility achieved significant cost savings, including a project anticipated to save $200,000 annually in hauling costs, and improved water quality with lower turbidity and disinfection byproducts.
