Case Study: Marin Municipal Water District saves time and boosts water safety with Tokay from Aquatic Informatics

Safeguarding the Water Supply in Marin County California

The Marin Municipal Water District, responsible for safeguarding the water supply in Marin County, California, faced a significant administrative challenge. Their small team of three was spending an excessive amount of time—80 hours per month—manually generating water test notices and reports. This costly process pulled staff away from their critical field work of protecting water quality through cross-connection and backflow prevention. They turned to Aquatic Informatics and its Tokay software to find a solution.

By implementing Aquatic Informatics' Tokay solution, the district automated its reporting processes. This reduced the time required to generate monthly notices and reports from 80 hours to just two hours, saving 78 person-hours each month. This monumental time-saver allowed the team to return to their primary field-based work, significantly improving operational efficiency and focus on ensuring safe water quality. The software also provided easy data querying and reporting capabilities from the field via iPad.
