INVESTOR BRIEFThe Unified Operating System for Water Utilities
AquaSaaS is a next-generation, cloud-native enterprise platform designed specifically for the ~50,000 community water systems in the United States. By unifying customer billing (CIS), SCADA integration, subsurface GIS mapping, and automated compliance reporting into a single SaaS tier-priced model, we eliminate the need for fragmented, expensive legacy software.
Market Opportunity: The Fragmentation Problem
The US water utility market is highly fragmented. While mega-cities use massive legacy systems (like Tyler Technologies), 82% of the market consists of small to medium systems (under 3,300 connections) that are severely underserved, relying on disjointed tools, spreadsheets, and manual compliance processes.
US Community Water Systems by Size
➤ The Gap
Small/Mid-sized utilities cannot afford the $100k+ upfront implementation costs of legacy CIS systems, nor do they have the IT staff to manage separate GIS (Esri) and SCADA databases. They need an "all-in-one" solution.
➤ Regulatory Tailwinds
Increasing EPA regulations (e.g., Lead and Copper Rule) demand strict reporting. AquaSaaS's automated compliance portal translates this regulatory burden into a massive sales driver.
The AquaSaaS Product Edge
We replace 4 separate software subscriptions with one unified, modern interface designed specifically for utility operators and their customers.
Smart Billing & CIS
Meter-to-cash workflow. Automated invoicing, tiered usage rates, and a frictionless Customer Portal for end-users to log in, view usage analytics, and pay bills online (Stripe integration).
SCADA & Alert Integration
Direct APIs into existing SCADA (Ignition, VTScada). Built-in SMS/Email alert system triggering manual or automated warnings for pressure drops or contamination, instantly logging to compliance docs.
Interactive Subsurface GIS
A lightweight, highly responsive alternative to expensive ArcGIS licenses. Map valves, mains, and meters visually. Tie customer accounts directly to geographical points on the map.
Automated Compliance Portal
Reporting scheduling system that generates state/EPA formatted documents based on SCADA data and manual inputs. Secure portal for regulatory agencies to pull required reports directly.
Competitive Landscape
The market is dominated by fragmented legacy providers. AquaSaaS wins on integration, modern UI, and transparent pricing.
Tyler Technologies (Munis)
Market leader, heavily entrenched. Pricing: $100k+ upfront, heavy on-prem legacy code. Lacks native native lightweight GIS.
MuniBilling / SpryPoint
Modern cloud billing competitors. Pricing: SaaS ($500-$3k/mo). Focused purely on billing; lacks deep SCADA, GIS, and compliance portals.
AquaSaaS (Us)
The only unified platform. Pricing: Connection-based tiering. Provides billing, GIS, SCADA alerts, and compliance in one pane of glass.
Feature Completeness Comparison
SaaS Pricing Model & Projections
Pricing is strictly subscription-based, tiered by the number of active water connections. Implementation fees are minimal, reducing friction for small municipalities.
Tier 1: Small System
Tier 2: Mid Market
Tier 3: Enterprise
5-Year ARR Projection (Target)
Valuation & The Ask
Vertical SaaS platforms in the GovTech/Utility space command premium multiples due to extreme customer stickiness (churn < 2%) and predictable recurring revenue.
