Wednesday, April 19, 2023 1:00pm - 1:45pm EDT  
Host: WEF Buyers Guide
By: Thomas Monter, Lead/Senior Project Engineer, ENGIE North America and Elaine Marshall, Deputy Public Works Director, City of Milpitas

Whether mitigating the effects of storms or droughts, meeting the demands of regulators, or managing spiraling costs, smart water management is essential to the health of U.S. municipalities. In this webinar, ENGIE’s Thomas Monter will be joined by Elaine Marshall, Deputy Director of Public Works at the City of Milpitas, California, to outline how holistic, smart city solutions can connect and automate water and energy infrastructure to drive sustainability and deliver cost savings.

The webinar will show how Milpitas unlocked over $1.5 million in annual energy and water cost savings through citywide infrastructure upgrades and explore how municipalities can leverage a variety of technologies like SCADA systems, pump and treatment retrofits, and advanced metering to:

  • Scale operations and improve services
  • Reduce waste and accelerate leak detection
  • Optimize water quality through automated treatment
  • Fund modernization through cost savings from energy and operational efficiencies
  • Adapt to a changing climate and more severe weather-related events
