Shaping the Future of Water:
A Vision of Collaborative Resilience

At Opti, we understand that effective water management is a complex, interconnected challenge. We see ourselves as a vital piece of a much larger puzzle, collaborating with industry leaders, the public and private sectors, and research institutions to drive meaningful change. Recognizing that diverse perspectives and shared expertise are essential, we foster synergistic relationships that break down silos and accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge technology. By working together, we create sustainable solutions that benefit communities and the environment. Our commitment to collaboration is rooted in the understanding that our collective impact, as a part of a larger system, far exceeds what we can achieve individually, paving the way for a future where smart water management is the norm.

This newsletter will provide an inside look at the power of integrated solutions and the shared vision driving progress in the smart water sector. We'll showcase how joint initiatives with architecture, engineering, and construction firms, technology innovators, and software developers, are achieving multifaceted objectives—from enhancing stormwater infrastructure resilience to optimizing water resource management. 

We encourage you to reach out and explore how your organization can join our network of collaborators, contributing to and benefiting from the advancement of smart, sustainable water management solutions. Let's work together to shape a more resilient future!

Digital Integrations in St. Louis, MO

See how The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District mitigated flooding and CSOs at $0.02/gal by integrating downstream monitoring (ADS Environmental) and upstream adaptive controls (Opti) solutions. The results were impressive, with a 72% increase in wet weather capture and 85% peak flow reduction as compared to a passive system.
                  

A New Partnership

We're thrilled to announce Opti's new partnership with HydroCAD! This collaboration marks an exciting step forward in empowering our engineering community with even more design tools and stormwater solutions. We look forward to revealing more details very soon. In the meantime, reach out to Opti with any questions!

            
 

Achieving Community & Stormwater Goals

Capital Region Water partnered with Opti and Jacobs to implement a CMAC system in Harrisburg's Bellevue Park. The project resulted in mitigated CSOs and flooding while maintaining historic aesthetics for the neighboring community. 

               

Making Stormwater Smarter in Florida

National Stormwater Trust (NST) and Opti are the dream team for smart stormwater in Florida! Utilizing Opti's CMAC technology, NST develops and operates smart pond projects in Florida, transforming passive infrastructure into active stormwater management systems. A recent webinar highlights project successes, shares lessons learned, and presents the technology's role in meeting Florida's evolving stormwater regulations.
                

Innovative Design in Vermont

In Northern Vermont, Woodard & Curran staff leveraged Opti's CMAC technology, resulting in cost-effective increases in stormwater storage and improved water quality within an urbanized watershed. 

                 

Partnering for Performance & Reliability

Opti delivers economical, resilient, and peace-of-mind stormwater management by leveraging durable, high-performance Rotork actuators.
