Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources optimizes water production with AVEVA solutions

Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources operates in a heterogeneous hardware and software environment, with a legacy architecture that limited off-site visibility and a fast-growing data estate reaching half a million measurement points. The organization needed to give operators, engineers, scientists and executives the right information at the right time, from any location. Deploying a hybrid SaaS solution combining AVEVA Operations Control, AVEVA Unified Operations Center, AVEVA Insight, AVEVA System Platform, AVEVA Historian and AVEVA Reports for Operations broke down the silos. Data and analytics are displayed securely on any device, on-site or remotely, and adding new users or assets keeps pace with the county's growth. The benefits are tangible: a single optimization saved 120 million gallons of water and $35,000 a year by identifying non-revenue water leaks.

FAQ

What is an AVEVA hybrid SaaS solution for the water sector?
A hybrid SaaS solution combines on-premises deployments and cloud services for maximum flexibility. At Gwinnett County, AVEVA Operations Control, Unified Operations Center, Insight, System Platform, Historian and Reports for Operations work together to display data securely on any device, on or off site. This architecture breaks down legacy silos while supporting the growth of the data estate, which has reached half a million measurement points.
How does AVEVA Insight democratize access to operational data?
AVEVA Insight securely distributes operational indicators and dashboards to any authorized user, on a computer, tablet or smartphone. In Gwinnett County, operators, engineers, scientists and executives access the right information at the right time, wherever they are. This data mobility transforms decision-making and allows field teams to react quickly to deviations identified on the water network.
How can 120 million gallons of water be saved thanks to AVEVA?
By consolidating data from six facilities and hundreds of assets through AVEVA System Platform and Historian, Gwinnett County identified non-revenue water leaks that were invisible in the old siloed architecture. A single optimization saved 120 million gallons of water and $35,000 a year. It is a textbook case showing how data centralization turns a hidden operating cost into a measurable lever for industrial performance.
Why unify monitoring of a six-facility water network on a single platform?
Unification through AVEVA Unified Operations Center eliminates silos between facilities, equipment and business functions. In Gwinnett County, this consolidation provides a global system view that makes it possible to optimize water production, anticipate maintenance needs and align teams around shared KPIs. For a water operator, it is a paradigm shift: moving from site-by-site management to real-time control of the entire network.
How does AVEVA Reports for Operations make use of half a million data points?
AVEVA Reports for Operations turns the mass of data collected by Historian into automated reports that business teams and management can use. In Gwinnett County, this tool structures EPA regulatory reporting, performance indicator tracking and internal communication. It saves considerable time compared with manual reporting and is a critical compliance lever in the drinking water sector, which is subject to strict traceability requirements.
