Case Study: Easton Suburban Water Authority saves $85,000 a year with Sensus SaaS

Easton Suburban Water Authority Saves $85,000 a Year with Sensus Software as a Service

The Easton Suburban Water Authority (ESWA) was challenged by the significant time and money its staff spent managing its Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) IT network and servers, which distracted from its core mission of providing water service. To improve operational efficiency, the utility partnered with vendor Sensus for a solution involving their FlexNet communication network, iPERL water meters, and Software as a Service (SaaS).

Sensus implemented a private, cloud-based solution where they fully own and manage the AMI IT infrastructure. This allowed ESWA's personnel to refocus on customer service. The measurable result was an annual savings of over $85,000 compared to managing the system in-house, and the utility now benefits from a secure system without the burden of future software updates or server replacements.
