GAO Case Studies

Los Angeles, CA – Water & Power Department (LADWP)

LADWP deployed a smart metering infrastructure to monitor electricity and water usage citywide. With over 1 million meters connected, they saw a 25% reduction in service calls and a 10% increase in leak detection efficiency. ICity Tek’s backend dashboard integration helped streamline the data flow and improve customer responsiveness.

Houston, TX – Smart Gas Monitoring Pilot

Houston’s Public Works Department partnered with ICity Tek to trial smart gas meters in a high-density neighborhood. The pilot resulted in accurate usage predictions, improved billing cycles, and real-time alerts for gas leaks—leading to the city’s commitment to a full-scale rollout.

Toronto, ON – Multi-Utility Smart Grid for Mixed-Use Buildings

In collaboration with local energy providers, ICity Tek deployed smart meters in a cluster of mixed-use buildings in downtown Toronto. The system reduced monthly utility complaints by 40% and empowered residents with live consumption dashboards, fostering more energy-conscious behavior.
