The presentation will be on the integration of energy, water/waste water and data as one utility in 2025. The overall theme of the presentation is the impact that the internet addressed communication will have on the management, auditing and operations of communities' traditional utilities. It will also address the relationship between water and energy and how data and data analytics will dramatically improve the interconnectivity and the efficiency of operations. The obvious resulting benefit of improved efficiency will be discussed. However the presentation will also identify the new sources of revenue that will be available to a utility whether owned publically or privately. It will provide a thought provoking approach to utility design, community planning and the future management of our community environment.
