Case Study: Western Municipal Water District achieves real-time water quality trend analysis with Aquatic Informatics WaterTrax Mobile

The Digital Era WaterTrax Mobile at Western Municipal Water District

Western Municipal Water District struggled with inefficient water quality data management, relying on paper logs and manual entry into spreadsheets and later the WaterTrax system. This process created significant delays, made long-term trend analysis nearly impossible, and consumed 8-16 hours per month on data entry. Brenda Meyer, Principal Engineer, sought a solution from vendor Aquatic Informatics to modernize their operations and gain better access to their field data.

By implementing the WaterTrax Mobile application from Aquatic Informatics, the district enabled field staff to input data directly into the system in real time. This solution eliminated manual data entry, saving approximately $4,400 annually, and provided immediate access to results. The district now performs proactive, data-driven water quality management, catching issues like nitrification early and has completely eliminated the need for physical storage of lab data.
