The Town of Huntington, located on Long Island’s North Shore, has taken a decisive step toward modernizing its utility infrastructure by partnering with Util360, a leading provider of cloud-based utility management software. This initiative marks a significant advancement in how the Town delivers water utility services to its residents, streamlining operations, enhancing customer engagement, and embracing digital transformation.
Through this collaboration, Huntington reaffirms its commitment to public service, fiscal responsibility, and environmental stewardship, hallmarks of a forward-thinking municipal government.
A Strategic Move Toward Digital Efficiency
Prior to this implementation, Huntington’s utility operations relied on legacy systems that, while dependable, were increasingly outpaced by the demands of a growing and tech-savvy population. The need for faster billing cycles, real-time usage data, automated service tracking, and improved customer communication became clear.
Util360 was selected after a thorough evaluation process, offering a comprehensive, cloud-based solution tailored to the complex needs of municipal utility providers. With this transition, Huntington gains access to a secure and scalable platform that enhances both internal operations and public-facing services.
Transforming the Utility Experience for Residents
At the core of this initiative is the goal of improving service delivery to the people of Huntington. With the deployment of Util360, residents now have access to a suite of online tools designed to simplify their interactions with the town’s utility department. These include:
- An intuitive customer portal for viewing account information
- Real-time water usage dashboards
- Leak detection alerts
- Online billing, payment, and paperless billing options
- Digital service request submissions
This level of transparency and convenience empowers residents to take greater control of their utility usage and costs. It also reduces the administrative burden on town staff, enabling quicker response times and better customer service overall.
Behind-the-Scenes Improvements that Make a Big Impact
Internally, the new system significantly enhances the operational capabilities of Huntington’s utility team. Util360 consolidates a variety of functions into a single, centralized platform, allowing staff to work more efficiently and make better-informed decisions.
From automated billing processes and dynamic rate configuration to live tracking of service orders and seamless integration with meter reading and GIS systems, Util360 provides the tools needed to operate with greater precision. Advanced dashboards offer immediate visibility into key performance indicators—such as water usage trends, potential leaks, and revenue forecasting—helping the Town anticipate challenges and allocate resources more effectively.
These improvements allow the Town to not only respond to resident needs more quickly but also plan proactively for future infrastructure investments and sustainability programs.
Advancing Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
As part of Huntington’s broader environmental initiatives, the Util360 platform contributes directly to conservation efforts. Real-time consumption data and leak alerts help both residents and staff identify water waste and take corrective action early, reducing the strain on natural resources.
In addition, the promotion of paperless billing and digital communication through the platform aligns with the Town’s goal of minimizing environmental impact while improving operational efficiency. These steps, though seemingly small on their own, represent Huntington’s larger commitment to sustainable governance.
A Secure and Scalable Investment in the Town’s Future
Security and scalability were key factors in the Town’s decision to adopt Util360. The platform is built with industry-standard data protection protocols, ensuring that resident and municipal data remain safe and confidential. Its modular structure allows Huntington to scale the system as needs evolve—whether expanding services, integrating new infrastructure, or enhancing resident engagement tools.
Util360’s adaptability also positions Huntington to meet the growing expectations of its population, many of whom expect the same level of digital access and responsiveness from their local government as they do from private-sector services.
Seamless Implementation and Ongoing Support
Util360’s deployment in Huntington was marked by strong collaboration between town departments and the Util360 implementation team. Customized training sessions ensured that staff were equipped to fully utilize the new tools, and a dedicated support channel remains available to address questions and provide updates.
This commitment to a smooth transition has ensured minimal disruption for both staff and residents, while setting a strong foundation for long-term success.
Strengthening Trust in Public Service
Perhaps most importantly, this technological advancement serves to strengthen public trust in the Town’s ability to deliver efficient, transparent, and responsive services. In a time when many residents are looking to their local governments for innovation and accountability, the partnership with Util360 sends a clear message: Huntington is not only listening, but leading.
By investing in modern utility management, the Town is taking meaningful steps to ensure that essential services are delivered with the professionalism, precision, and care that residents deserve.
