A comment I happened to read…
●Built Infrastructure in America’s Cities is the story of the catastrophic
consequences of antiquated design and neglect, multiplied by the
disaster of increasing populations and decreasing financial
resources to address our issues, especially as they relate to Public
Safety, Water, Energy, and Transportation. To add insult to injury we
have climate related challenges forcing us to broadly
consider ecologically sustainable solutions for the first time
in our modern history. What we have realized by now is that we
can no longer “build” our way out of capacity needs, and we
can’t repair our way out of the availability of our critical resources.

Smart Cities is not a concept, it’s about
urban efficiency…and it’s happening today.
We must understand what it takes
to make Smart Cities a reality.

12. 12
It’s about Priorities

13. 13
Sustainability . . .
"meeting the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
"Brundtland definition"
1987 Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development
Centrali, PA a is a borough and ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its population has dwindled
from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 12 in 2005,[1] 9 in 2007, and 10 in 2010, as a result of a mine fire burning beneath the
borough since 1962. Centralia is one of the least-populated municipalities in Pennsylvania

14. 14
Water Sustainability . . .
“ability to provide and manage water quantity and quality
to meet the present needs of humans and environmental
ecosystems without impairing the future generations to do
the same."
"Brundtland and Dan Rothman definition"
1987 Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development

15. 15

The Greenest City in America
That’s the ambitious goal that Mayor Michael A. Nutter has set for
Philadelphia. Reaching it will be an opportunity to reposition and
repurpose Philadelphia as a city of the future. For the first time in
decades, changes beyond our borders—primarily rising energy prices,
but also climate change and an emerging green economy—are
increasing the value of our urban assets. Philadelphia’s dense and
durable stock of housing, infrastructure and amenities position us to
prosper in a carbon-constrained future.
―Greenworks Philadelphia is a vision for how
Philadelphia can and should seize this
moment, building upon the assets left to us by earlier
Philadelphians and creating a better future for
ourselves, our children and generations still to come.‖
— MAYOR MICHAEL A. NUTTER

31. 31
Greenworks Highlights
●Strategic plan by the city and for the city
●Sustainability viewed through 5 lenses
● Energy
● Environment
● Equity
● Economy
● Engagement
●Plan for all Philadelphians not just the government

32. 32
The Vision of
Philadelphia on Storm
water is that the
business, the land
holders etc need to have
the surface area able to
absorb the first
1 inch of rainwater.
Thus all the green in the
rendering here and the
byproduct of not having
to handle that water as
part of the combined
storm and sanitary flow.

Water Wastewater Is A Large Energy Consumer
Schneider Electric – Session Title – Smart Cities for Smart Water: A Workshop
• Paying the bills
• One of largest monthly bills
• What % of your city/county energy
spend goes to W/WW ?
• Dallas, TX @ 50%
• Houston, TX @ 50%
• Clinton, AR @ 65-70%
• Tulsa, OK @ 60%
• Performance Indicator
• Car: MPG
• What if dropped 20%
• KWH/MG?
• RWI pump dropped 20%
• Train 1 vs. Train 2
• 15% more efficient. Why?
Typical City Energy Usage

49. 49
Typical Breakdowns
●Demand for WWW
●Age of infrastructure (30+ years)
●Legislative compliance
●71,000+ systems in US
●Shortages of in-house expertise
●Reduced financial resources
●Energy efficiency awareness
●Energy use

Water Utilities are not Immune
(Top Challenges)
EPA: Operational Expenses on the rise – Funding for Capital and Operations Down
U.S. Drinking Water and Wastewater System Challenges
Water Scarcity A minimum of 36 states are anticipating local, regional, or statewide water shortages by 2013.
Climate
Change
Changing precipitation patterns, shrinking snow packs, increasing runoff, rising sea levels,
and greater saltwater intrusion will likely result in significant adaptation efforts to maintain
water resource and infrastructure services.
Increasing
Population
Between 1950 and 2000, U.S. population nearly doubled while the demand on public supply systems
more than tripled. Increased demands are depleting aquifers at rates exceeding their recharge.
Energy
Uncertainty
Fewer sources of conventional fuels and increasingly expensive extraction costs are driving up oil
prices, destabilizing the economy and causing global shortages and uncertainty for utility operating
budgets.
Aging
Infrastructure
Repairing, replacing, and upgrading aging infrastructure will cost between $300 billion to $1 trillion over
the next 20 years.

51. 51
Decision support &
business intelligence
tools used to optimize
performance
Information sharing
enables coordinated
action and minimized
network disruptions
Increased demand met by
making infrastructure
more efficient, not larger
Collaborative involvement
of all stakeholders in a
long-term, step-by-step
process
Departments operate in
silos with little or no
information sharing
Tons of data collected by
systems but not used
Little engagement between
city/county and private
sector except during
buying cycle
Increased demand met by
building more capital-
intensive infrastructure
Traditional Approach Smart Approach
The Smart City / Smart Water approach

52. 52
You need to ask and find the answer to:
“How does the my City do … ?”
(Major Initiatives)
●Water Network Management through data
collection, measurement and analysis—ensuring optimal
efficiency, longevity and reliability
●Water Loss Management and Leak detection using real-
time data and model network simulations to identify and resolve
problems—improving service
●Energy and Process Management to help meet
demand, maximize resources, reduce costs and emissions, and
ensure regulatory compliance
●Storm Water and Urban Flooding Management with
highly accurate flow and capacity information, simulation
tools, and precipitation forecasts—for better preparation and
response
●Geographical Information System-based solutions that
provide a single version of the truth—supporting coordinated
decisions across a utility’s entire enterprise

53. 53
Also, find the answer to:
“How does my Utility… ?”
●Track Water Efficiency / Water Management KPI’s?
● What is your $ / MG Produced per Plant and per System
● What is your $ / MG Treated per Plant and per System
● Water Lost per Water Produced, What is the yearly Production & Treated MGs
● Billing Meter Accuracy
●Energy Efficiency / Energy Management KPI’s?
• KWH/MG Produced per Plant
and per System
• Energy Audit at each plant / facility
• KWH/MG Treated per Plant and
per System
• Energy Benchmarking on processes, plant to
plant, and on system basis
• Utility Energy Usage and Demand
Rates, TOD Rates
• Optimize your Energy Source (Electricity
Produced / Electricity Used)
• Energy Quality & Chemical Usage • Demand Forecasting: using Weather Data &
Demand Consumption
• Biological Oxygen Demand
( KWH/kg of BOD)
• KWH / t of dry sludge
• Demand Response Load (KW) • CO2 Footprint

54. 54
How does the City:
“Integrate these Silos into their W / WW System?”
●Plant & Distribution SCADA Systems into a Overall Water
Management System
●Customer Relationship Management Systems (integrated w/ call center,
Dashboards)
●GIS (tasks: Planning, Modeling, Maintenance, Op Support, Cust Support)
●ERP System (what is its main use: financial, asset, cash flow, accounting)
●Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) – Computerized Maintenance
Management System (CMMS)
●Pump Optimization for Energy Efficiency
●Hydraulic Models
●Meter Reading Systems: Monthly, Every two months, Manually, Automatic
(walk by, drive by, or AMI)
●Physical Access Control w/ Video Protection
●Stormwater Management and Urban Flooding (Weather Forecasting?)
●Laboratory Information Management (LIM) Systems
