Sustainable partnership There is a recent collaboration with Gannon University to promote sustainable drinking water use and reduce single-use plastics on campus, signaling openness to campus partnerships and green initiatives that could be expanded to other institutions or municipal partners.

Funding momentum The authority has secured multiple funding sources in recent years, including a $10M loan and smaller grants, indicating ongoing capital programs for fleet modernization, infrastructure upgrades, and water quality improvements that may require trusted technology and service providers.

Infrastructure modernization Substantial investments have targeted core treatment plants, pump stations, and laboratory facilities, creating opportunities to offer advanced SCADA, analytics, asset management, and predictive maintenance solutions aligned with their modernization trajectory.

Tech landscape Current tech stack includes AWS, ArcGIS, SQL Server, and enterprise tools, suggesting receptiveness to integrated GIS-enabled data platforms, cloud services, and data-driven operations that can diversify or enhance existing IT and OT ecosystems.

Growth potential With revenue in the lower tens of millions and a small staff, there is potential for cost-saving and efficiency improvements through vendor-managed services, remote monitoring, and scalable solutions suitable for a compact utility exploring best-practice procurement.
