How a county, city, utility or school district buys Aqueduct.

Public agencies usually buy Aqueduct through their normal procurement route, starting with a scoped pilot of one facility or one district. Security answers come in your questionnaire format.

How it works

The usual path, from first call to rollout.

Each step is small enough to approve on its own.

01

Site survey

One facility or district, with 12 months of bills or a meter list.

02

Pilot scope

Sites, systems and the results to verify, agreed up front.

03

Procurement

The route your rules allow for that scope.

04

Pilot

Baseline, find, act and verify on the agreed scope.

05

Rollout

More buildings or districts, each on the same definitions.

Security and deployment

Answers we can state here.

QuestionAnswer

Are commands recorded?Yes, in an auditable command history.
Does it control SCADA?No. It reads SCADA data.
Who installs meters and sensors?Third-party partners.

Questions

Common questions

It varies by agency. Milvian AI confirms which purchasing routes Aqueduct is available through today, and your procurement office chooses the one its policies allow. Most agencies begin with a scoped pilot that can be approved on its own.

Yes. Milvian AI completes security questionnaires during procurement, using the agency's own template. The company holds SOC 2 Type 2 attestation and ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and detailed answers on data handling and access go beyond this page. See trust and security.

The results written into the pilot scope before it starts, typically a weather-normalized baseline, located findings and verified savings for one facility or district. Agreeing them before work starts lets later phases be judged the same way. See measurement and verification.

Not always. Aqueduct can start from 12 months of bills and existing BMS, SCADA or AMI data, then add meters or sensors where a gap matters to the result. Installation runs through partners. See hardware.
