WATER Power Tools
Evergreen Rural Water of Washington is pleased to announce a new benefit for our members. Through a new partnership with GeoAnalytica, Inc. ERWOW members are now able to purchase WATER Power Tools™ at deeply-discounted prices.
WATER Power Tools™ (WPT™) is a collection of over 200 programs, reports, and calculators that run on your personal computer to help in managing your water or wastewater system. WPT™ is designed to be installed and used by regular operators, managers, and support staff, and no special training is required to begin using its programs and reports.
The programs are divided into three groups. The Resource Management section includes “Water Mechanics,” a step-by-step process for analyzing your system’s water sources and uses. By using the programs in Water Mechanics you can instantly assess system efficiencies and evaluate the impact of changes, such as adding a new housing development, to your system. The Resource Management section also includes a comprehensive Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) program to help you compile your CCRs, inventory tracking programs, employee management tools, a strategic planning guide, and other related programs.
The Technical Reference section contains chemical and chlorine dosing calculators so you can instantly compute dosing quantities as well as record your dosing activities, a collection of sizing calculators for tanks, flumes, pipes, open channels, a conversion calculator, pump and energy calculations, and many other tools and report generators.
In the Financial Capacity section are programs for calculating amortization, a water cost analysis worksheet, water rate development and water rate implementation programs, depreciation schedules, asset management schedules, and a sophisticated impact fee analysis.
As you can see, WATER Power Tools™ has a wide range of tools for operators. The software allows you to take control of the data you are already collecting and use that information to better understand your system, manage your resources, and plan for the future.
The retail price for WATER Power Tools™ is $625, but through the ERWOW partnership you can purchase individual copies of WPT™ for $398. The partnership also allows you to purchase an optional, discounted upgrade plan. Order forms, along with more information about the partnership, are available on the association’s website.
The WATER Power Tools™ partnership is an example of how Evergreen Rural Water of Washington is continually looking for ways to help you, our members, improve your operations. Let us know what you think!
