The event
This half-day event is designed for Northern California water utilities managing aging infrastructure alongside rapid growth. We’l l break down how AI is helping teams stabilize existing networks, reduce costly water loss, and free up time and resources needed to keep pace with expansion – without increasing staff workloads.
Meet the experts
Hear from utility leaders and AI experts as they walk through how modern modeling helps teams to identify leaks, reduce failure risk and focus reinvestment where it matters most.
Featured speaker: Greg Bundesen
Conservation and Communications Supervisor, Sacramento Suburban Water District Greg has spent nearly 15 years running conservation and water loss programs, and he is on the Board of Directors for the California Water Efficiency Partnership. He’ll share what it takes to build a leak detection program that holds up under scrutiny from the state, from leadership, and from the public.
What to expect
There’s no cost, no commitment, and no pressure – just practical insights, good food, and learnings from real utility professionals. This forum is hosted in collaboration with California Data Collaborative and Ferguson Waterworks.
Lunch included
We’ll have hot coffee, fresh pastries, and a chef-prepared lunch.
