CCP Client CO143
Revolutionary Smart Water System

Clayton Capital Partners, a St. Louis based investment banking firm, is pleased to exclusively represent “CO143” in seeking growth capital.  CO143 has developed a Smart Water Control System that incorporates revolutionary technology to manage, control and conserve potable water. It transforms the “dumb” water grid into a highly intelligent network utilizing proprietary smart nodes.

• Its proprietary, sensor rich, smart nodes are capable of self-generating power. Lack of power at the meter has long been a source of frustration, cost, maintenance issues and design constraints for water systems.

• Coupled with its proprietary Management Console software, CO143 delivers high level system benefits not available from an AMI system including:

  • Near real-time two-way communication using virtually any wireless communication network available;

  • Capturing of lost meter revenue due to meter inaccuracy through ongoing, in-line self-calibration;

  • Upstream and downstream leak detection with greater accuracy, in less time, with no additional capital costs, and no additional manhours as compared to methodologies currently employed by other AMI vendors;

  • Remotely activate or deactivate meter when delinquent bills or customer changes occur yielding significant labor, vehicle and related savings;

  • Remotely vary flow to enact conservation measures as opposed to just reporting violations like some current systems;

  • Improved backflow and tamper detection increasing system security;

  • System wide load balancing reducing head-end pressure demands, reducing stress on the infrastructure and lowering the electrical costs required to maintain the pressure; and

  • Enable time of use pricing and other capabilities that will allow homeowners to make intelligent decisions about water use.
• All features are fully integrated into the CO143 meter; yet it is the same size as current water meters and meets all American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards.  

• Total cost of ownership for the CO143 hardware and software is less than 10% of any AMI system.  To attempt to replicate even the basic functions of the CO143 system, competitive offerings require at least 3 additional, expensive, add-on, AMI technologies that may or may not fit in the meter pit and are likely to have integration, maintenance and battery issues.

• CO143 is in negotiations for paid pilots with 2 leading managed services providers, one leading Smart Grid communications provider and one consulting / engineering firm.

• CO143’s management team blends water industry experience with expertise in remote, wireless, application development for the U.S. military.

• CO143 is seeking $5.75 million to further the development of its products and to expand its sales and marketing team. CO143 would also consider a larger investment from the right partner.
