The water industry continues to evolve as utilities seek practical ways to improve operational efficiency, enhance customer service, and make better use of limited resources. At AWWA ACE26 in Washington, D.C., Geospace Technologies invites utility leaders, engineers, operators, and technology partners to visit Booth 2726 to see how intelligent valve control and connected infrastructure are helping utilities modernize their operations.

Live Demonstrations of Aquana Smart Water Solutions

Throughout the conference, attendees can experience live demonstrations of Aquana’s smart water technology platform, including:

Visitors will have the opportunity to see remote valve operations in action, including service connection and disconnection, flow reduction capabilities, and utility control features that help reduce truck rolls and improve responsiveness.

The demonstrations will also showcase AquaControl, Aquana’s cloud-based management platform that provides visibility and control over connected smart water assets through an intuitive web and mobile interface.

Introducing the New Hydroconn® Series V Connector

ACE26 will also mark the introduction of the newest addition to the Hydroconn smart water meter connector family.

The new Hydroconn Series V connector expands compatibility to support Badger Twist Tight® meter and endpoint installations, providing utilities and AMI providers with additional flexibility when deploying advanced metering infrastructure.

Built on the proven Hydroconn platform, Series V features:

  • Compatibility with Badger Twist Tight configurations
  • Rugged overmolded construction
  • IP68 environmental protection
  • Made-in-USA manufacturing
  • Build America, Buy America (BABA) compliance

As utilities continue to modernize metering systems, connector reliability remains a critical but often overlooked component of long-term network performance.

Learn from Industry Experts During Daily Booth Talks

In addition to product demonstrations, Geospace will host a series of educational presentations led by Bobby Barker, Acting Managing Director, Aquana and Chris Cervantes, Account Manager Smart Water.

These short, practical sessions are designed to provide utility professionals with actionable insights based on real-world deployments and customer experiences.
