ZEPHYRHILLS, FL, SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 -- FATHOM™ Water Management, Inc., the largest Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for water utilities, announced today that it has contracted with the City of Zephyrhills, Florida to provide the FATHOM Smart Grid for Water - an integrated, end-to-end solution including infrastructure, software, services, utility billing and customer care operations. With FATHOM, Zephyrhills’ residents will enjoy increased transparency with real-time access to water usage data, as well as access to online and mobile account management and bill pay.
"We are excited to be the first water utility in Florida to implement the FATHOM Smart Grid for Water," said Steve Spina, city manager of Zephyrhills. "We pride ourselves in providing stellar service to our residents and are committed to bringing our utility customers new tools, like an easy-to-use mobile app, to help them better manage and monitor their water consumption. Through FATHOM, we've upgraded our metering infrastructure and are using big data to increase utility revenue, improve operational efficiency and customer experience."
By adopting the Smart Grid for Water, the City of Zephyrhills’ water utility is enhancing its fiscal stewardship through high revenue assurance metrics, which reduces accounts receivable while improving the level of customer service and customer self-service. The FATHOM platform sets in motion exacting performance standards, designed to quickly deliver returns and positive cash flow at a reduced cost compared to previous systems.
"Florida is an exciting market for us as the region is grappling with challenges related to water quality and supply," said Trevor Hill, CEO of FATHOM. "We are delighted to begin a partnership with Zephyrhills and bring the utility and its customers the usage information and billing integrity they need."
