Why the water system is hard to stay ahead of
You’re dealing with physical properties such as pipes, pumps, and tanks, many of which are aging and need maintenance scheduled out so they receive attention on time. And any water asset deterioration that interrupts drinking water will not be well met among your municipality’s residents.
NovoGov Water Management Software
NovoGov water management software is a system municipalities use to inventory the pipes, pumps, valves and hydrants a water utility runs on, create and update the work orders that keep them running, and report on what that upkeep is costing. Some governments call this water utility software or water system management software; the job is the same either way.
It is part of our Public Works Operations Management system, so the water utility works in the same records as the streets its mains run under and the crews it shares them with. From letting you see all your water distribution system’s assets at a glance to accessing those assets’ conditions, it is one system rather than a shelf of them.

Watch the demo
This overview demo video shows our water management system software. It includes scheduling water related work orders on a calendar, viewing the water management system on a map with the ability to create work orders from the map.
■ Assets and the map
Every valve, pump and hydrant, findable
Any kind of asset: valves, pumps, pipes, and everything else from the plant out to the far end of the system. Geotag Assets on a map, integrate with ESRI GIS, add Assets and related Work Orders from the map. Intuitive and smooth Asset and Work Order forms make it easy to migrate from paper or outdated software.
■ Work orders
The job gets raised where the problem is
Create & update Work Orders in the field or plant, view maintenance history and track costs. View & update Assets and Work Orders in the field on a Smartphone or Tablet. And when the system notices the problem first, NovoGov can automatically create Work Orders from SCADA System alerts via SMS, Email or API.
■ Condition and cost
What to replace first, and what it will cost
You can also input asset quality ratings and other information from your condition assessment of the infrastructure. Doing this will help you answer a whole range of questions, such as: who or what does this asset serve? How much more useful life does it have? What is its value? What would it cost to repair or replace? Use information to spot maintenance trends, report on maintenance costs, forecast CIP budgets.
■ What switching looks like
Going live without losing the map
The plant keeps running the whole time. Nothing gets turned off until the new system is running.
What our clients say
Dennis Meshaw, Park Maintenance Superintendent for Parks & Recreation
“Before NovoGov, on the ShareNet Platform, we were using spreadsheets to track all our equipment needs. So, when we had a piece of equipment go to the shop, whether it’s a tractor or a weed-eater, we would track it on a spreadsheet. Now with NovoGov, we’re able to compile all that information in real time and we can just log in and we have all that information available to us. It has streamlined things, and it puts it all in a central location. I can look at it, my director can look at it, and my staff can look at it. So, Share Net’s been great!”
Gerry Vernon, Public Works Director
“The Public Works Department in the Town of Winter Park, CO needed a way to track calls for service from the public and log maintenance costs for its fleet. After much research, the system by Novo Solutions was selected. I have found the web-based interface very user-friendly, and the customer service provided by Rich Hunter has been exceptional. This solution is perfect to meet the department’s need to become more efficient and effective.”
Thomas Wilbur, Highway Superintendent
“With NovoGov, it’s easy to collect and view the data in a way that actually makes sense. What used to take 45 minutes now takes less than 2—and it’s accurate, searchable, and right at our fingertips. The only thing limiting us now is time and imagination.”
Thomas Wilbur, Highway Superintendent, Keith County, Nebraska
David Seugling, Public Works Director
“Switching to NovoGov has been a game changer for our department. It’s streamlined communication, eliminated paperwork, and made it easy for our field crews to update work orders in real time. The system is incredibly flexible and user-friendly — I’d make the switch to NovoGov again in a heartbeat.”
David Seugling – Public Works Director
Todd Philbrook, Public Works Director
“NovoGov works REALLY well for us. It’s easy to enter data, easy to look up complaints, and flexible enough that it can be tailored to match exactly how we operate. The support has been phenomenal, and it’s saving us time across the board.”
Todd Philbrook, Public Works Director
