City of Riverside PUD on quantifying ROI and digital transformation in the water industry

The City of Riverside Public Utilities Department has embraced
digital transformation by making better use of sensor-based data.
Because they work closely with their board of public utilities on
expenditures they track the value they are getting from their
efforts. In this episode, we talk to the people who have grown
the return on investment (ROI) they get from their work on the PI
System from $672,000 per year in 2019 to $1,300,000 per year
today. We discuss how they track ROI, how they improved adoption
of the use of their Operational Data Management System (ODMS),
what they did to improve water operations, how they use it in
their market operations system for trading energy, and what value
they found in putting their sensor-based data on their ArcGIS map
displays.
