SUA is a non-profit governmental regional water, wastewater and reclaimed water utility that furnishes potable water service to approximately 47,000 households and 2,700 commercial establishments. The Authority’s service area, which covers approximately 65 square miles, consists of certain unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County, and the incorporated areas of the City of Palm Beach Gardens, the Village of North Palm Beach, and the Towns of Lake Park and Juno Beach, all in northern Palm Beach County, Florida. It relies exclusively on groundwater supply and treats an average of 18 million gallons of water a day at a 30.5 MGD membrane treatment plant (put into service May 21, 2014). Its water transmission/distribution system consists of two remote pumping facilities and approximately 464 miles of pressure mains.
“Innovyze offers a comprehensive GIS-based solution to updating and maintaining our system data,” said Brandon Selle, P.E., Capital Projects Administrator for the Authority. “Seacoast and its customers will benefit from the valuable planning tools for managing our infrastructure and optimizing our capital improvements program.”

Built atop ArcGIS (Esri, Redlands, CA), InfoWater seamlessly integrates sophisticated predictive analytics, systems dynamics and optimization functionality directly within the powerful ArcGIS setting. From fire flow and water quality simulations, valve criticality and energy cost analysis to pressure zone management and advanced Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm optimization, the InfoWater product suite comes equipped with everything water utility owner-operators need to best plan, design, operate, secure and sustain their distribution systems.
The software also serves as a base platform for advanced smart network modeling, operation, capital planning and asset management extensions. Among these critical applications are IWLive (real-time operations and security); InfoWater UDF (unidirectional flushing); CapPlan (risk-based capital planning); InfoMaster and InfoMaster Mobile (asset integrity management and condition assessment); InfoWater MSX (multi-species, temperature, and particle transport/deposition modeling); InfoWater BTX (event/particle backtracking); InfoSurge (surge/transient analysis); Sustainability (carbon footprint calculation); BalanceNet (real-time energy management and operations optimization); PressureWatch (real-time network hydraulic integrity monitoring); QualWatch (real-time network water quality integrity monitoring); DemandWatch (water demand forecasting); DemandAnalyst (real-time water demand and diurnal pattern estimations); and SCADAWatch (real-time business intelligence and network performance monitoring).
“Speed, ease of use, reliability, flexibility, value, and power are the words that best describe our geospatial network modeling solutions,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, NAE, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, F.ASCE, president, COO and chief technical officer of Innovyze. “We’re proud that SUA chose Innovyze as its solution partner and look forward to helping this enterprise meet its corporate and strategic goals and achieve world-class performance at breakthrough cost savings.”
