Delivering on the AI Pipe Dream - Pipe Asset Management

What if artificial intelligence could tell you which pipes will fail next—and which ones won’t? Tucson Water and Itron are turning that vision into reality. In this session, discover how Pipe Asset Management uses predictive analytics to transform infrastructure planning from reactive guesswork into strategic foresight.

Learn how Tucson Water:

  • Saved $5.4 million in 2024 using AI to avoid replacing      good pipe.
  • Improved collaboration with DOT and paving crews to      align replacement schedules.
  • Unified GIS, consumption, and other data to drive      smarter capital decisions.

This session reveals how utilities can reduce unnecessary spending, improve reliability, and deliver measurable ROI—proving the AI pipe dream is already paying off.
