On the flip-side, … [Read more...]

Utility Infrastructure Management – Why Colorado Springs Utilities Doesn’t Always Appreciate Rain

water utility infrastructure management

What seems a good thing - water levels at the highest capacity they've been in years - is actually not so great for Colorado Springs Utilities. The one drawback of so much rain is that customers use less water, which means the utility loses revenue. Fifty percent of the money made by the water utility in Colorado Springs comes from irrigation, and now the utility is down $17 million due to … [Read more...]
