BROOMFIELD, CO, Jan 12, 2016 – Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart water infrastructure, today announced that the Water Authority of Western Nassau County, New York, has chosen the company’s industry-leading CAD-based H2ONET to support its water distribution network modeling and management needs. The purchase will enable the Water authority to address critical planning, design, maintenance and operational issues with maximum effectiveness and optimize its capital improvement program in support of its strategic plan.
Established in 1990, the Water authority of Western Nassau County has more than 28,000 customers, serving a population of approximately 120,000 in the towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead on Long Island, New York. The Water Authority provides the essential services of extraction, treatment, distribution and sale of water for residential, commercial, industrial and public and private fire water protection purposes. The source of the water supply is underground water aquifers.
“We use H2ONET for all our water distribution network modeling applications, from master planning to new development and fire flow assessment,” Said Robert Swartz, P.E., chief engineer for the Water Authority. “Its powerful CAD interface, rich functionality, intuitiveness and ease of use greatly assist our model development, calibration and maintenance. Its fast simulation speed and comprehensive scenario management allow us to improve our water system’s performance and sustainability at maximum savings.”
Built atop AutoCAD, the world’s leading CAD platform, H2ONET delivers breakthrough performance in integrated real-time network modeling and GIS data exchange, analysis across multiple data types, and the sophisticated mapping capabilities essential to complete infrastructure (asset) management and business planning. With H2ONET’s pioneering functionality and state-of-the-art computational algorithms, engineering professionals can directly access CAD and GIS datasets; extract pertinent modeling information; and automatically construct, skeletonize, load, calibrate, analyze, design, operate, and optimize any network model — saving time and money across the enterprise. Such capabilities prove invaluable to water utilities in complying with drinking water quality regulations, understanding and controlling taste and odor problems, developing cost-effective energy and fireflow solutions for water system operations, and improving system reliability and integrity. H2ONET’s capabilities also play a critical role in optimizing capital improvement and rehabilitation programs, enhancing community relations, and planning sound security measures.
