The Power of Data for Water Utilities | WWD Weekly Digest

In the summer of 2021, Mueller Water Products acquired a Brittish company by the name of i2O, which manufactures data loggers. These devices played a crucial role in addressing water scarcity in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2018. And now their distribution has expanded due to its relationship with Mueller.

CEO of i2O Joel Hagan details the i2O data loggers, the iterations the company has made in its 20 years of business and how the device compliments the other offerings at Mueller. He also expands on its integration with the Mueller Sentryx platform and what the future holds for smart water systems in 2022 and beyond.
