This week, Itron employees in Australia are #WalkingForWater. Along with our colleagues across the water industry, we’re walking, running or riding to raise funds and awareness for WaterAid Australia to help the 703 million people around the world – almost 1 in 10 – who don’t have access to safe, clean water. The idea is simple – we walk for water, so they don’t have to. Walk for Water is an annual event enabling vital work to provide safe, clean water and sanitation services to those in need. Hear from Itron's Bruce Kain, a participant in Walking for Water below, and learn more about Itron's Corporate Social Responsibility here: https://bit.ly/3Y6PF9R

Check out how a water #Utility in Arkansas saved 150 million gallons of water and $200,000 with Itron's leak detection solution. 🚰 Rogers Water Utility serves 77,000 customers in northeast #Arkansas.

Why smart #LED streetlights are the gold standard for measurable #Carbon reduction. 💡 Streetlights are a must for any city, but how you light up your streets can either skyrocket your CO2 emissions or help lower them. Cities account for roughly 75% of man-made #CO2 emissions, and more than 1,000 cities worldwide have pledged to cut their emissions in half by 2030, that’s just six years away! By switching to LED #Streetlights, cities can cut their #Energy consumption by up to 80% while reducing maintenance costs. Learn how cities like Paris, Chicago, and Christchurch have successfully deployed smart lighting solutions to accelerate their carbon reduction efforts, improve quality of life and lay the foundation for future #SmartCity initiatives.
