Case Study: Newton Medical Center achieves 40% water reduction (saves 11,000 gallons/day) with Brightly Software's UtilityTrac Plus

Newton Medical Center - Customer Case Study

Newton Medical Center, a 78‑acre, five‑building, 103‑bed hospital in Newton, Kansas, needed a more effective way to track utility costs and consumption so it could identify savings opportunities and verify results. Utilities were a large budget line item and monthly bills alone didn’t provide the visibility the facilities team required.

By deploying UtilityTrac Plus to normalize and trend utility data, the team identified rising water costs and traced excessive usage to an old vacuum pump. Replacing the pump immediately cut water use by about 11,000 gallons per day—a 40% reduction overall—and the system now helps justify and verify future improvement projects.
