Water

Water is foundational to the health and well-being of a community. This includes access to safe drinking water for consumption and hygiene, adequate water supplies for fighting fires, the effective treatment of wastewater for a cleaner environment, and the proactive management of stormwater to reduce flooding impacts.

At 1898 & Co., we focus on helping communities manage water, wastewater and stormwater needs efficiently and effectively by aligning use of technology with the business needs of the water industry.

We’re part of an organization that has been designing and building water systems for over 100 years, so we understand the regulatory requirements and technical challenges in managing and improving such critical infrastructure. Our business-driven approach to delivering technology solutions and capabilities that span the breadth of your organization will make the most of limited resources. This can include better preparing your workforce for future changes; streamlining your compliance-focused activities; improving overall organizational resiliency; optimizing decision intelligence across departments and workflows; and modernizing your approach to managing your water networks. We accomplish this by applying our industry-leading capabilities in enterprise systems, geospatial applications, business intelligence and analytics, digital project management office (PMO) rollouts, custom software development, industrial cybersecurity, water utility finance, and management consulting.

And that’s not all. We support your requirements for lead service line inventories using data governance strategies, mobile workforce planning, and spatial analysis and mapping. We build resilience into your operation through enterprise system integrations, cybersecurity planning and long-term financing strategies.

We put the resources of 1898 & Co. to work for you, applying the right mix of capabilities to address and solve your organization’s most pressing challenges.
