Instead of WaterOutlook

Stop renting WaterOutlook. Own your drinking water compliance system.

We build your version around your supplies, your sampling plan and your regulator, bring your WaterOutlook results across and run it for you. Start with this year's sampling and the events still open.

WaterOutlook does not publish a price. It sells an enterprise data platform, quoted per client, that it says collects data from more than 13,000 plants.

The recurring bill

What your WaterOutlook agreement pays for

WaterOutlook quotes each client privately. Here is what that agreement covers, set against owning the compliance record yourself.

Layers

A platform built for far more than compliance

WaterOutlook sells operations, compliance, carbon, energy and plant performance modules on one platform. A supplier that needs to prove its water is safe pays for a platform sized for SCADA feeds from thousands of plants.

Users

Access for everyone who touches a result

Samplers, operators, compliance staff and managers all need a way in. WaterOutlook says its platforms serve more than 3,700 users, and that access sits inside the agreement you renew.

Settings

Reports set up for you

WaterOutlook describes customised reports and automatic feeds to your regulator. Each new report or rule change goes back to the vendor.

Database

Your data held by someone else

WaterOutlook calls itself your data custodian. Custody still means your history sits on their platform, under their agreement.

RefreshCw

Rules that keep moving

New Zealand changed its acceptable solutions, registration deadlines and regulator name in 2025, and new assurance rules start in July 2027. Victoria replaced its drinking water regulations in 2025. Every change has to land in a system you rent.

BarChart

Dashboards someone else designed

The questions you can ask depend on what was built for you. A question nobody set up a report for waits for the next change request.

Your compliance record

The weekly water quality meeting, run from your own records

Results

Every result checked the moment it is recorded

Each lab result is held against the New Zealand standards or the Australian guidelines, and your own operating limits.

  • check E. coli, chlorine, turbidity, nitrate, arsenic, lead, manganese and fluoride built in
  • check A result over a health limit opens an event in the same step
  • check Non-detects such as less than 1 are never counted as a breach
  • check A result is never edited: a bad sample is voided with a reason and taken again

Events

No detection without the duties that follow

Each event tracks what the law expects next, and refuses to close until it is done.

  • check Regulator told, by whom and with what reference, against your notification window
  • check Boil water and do not drink notices dated from issue to lift
  • check A notice cannot come off without a clear resample taken after it went out
  • check The notice to consumers and the notification to the regulator drafted from the record

Sampling

The sampling run, worked out for you

Your schedule sits with every point and test, and the gaps show before an auditor finds them.

  • check Overdue and due-this-week tests by supply and tap
  • check More than 9 days between E. coli samples flagged for large New Zealand networks
  • check Samples still at the lab after five days chased
  • check Turbidity and chlorine days out of limit from your plant's daily summary

Your records

Answers your current reports were never built for

Ask in plain words and get the answer from your own history, with the rule behind every flag.

  • check Days from detection to telling the regulator, by supply
  • check Safety plan actions overdue, and who owns them
  • check Branded event reports and monthly summaries for every supply
  • check Every finding tied to the New Zealand or Victorian rule it comes from

Ask it anything

Ten questions your water quality records answer

These run against the working demonstration today. Your own version asks them of your supplies, your sampling plan and your history.

chat_bubble Which E. coli detections has nobody told the regulator about yet?
chat_bubble Which boil water notices could come off today because a clear resample is already back?
chat_bubble Which health results have no event raised against them?
chat_bubble Which scheduled tests are overdue this week, and at which taps?
chat_bubble How many days, on average, do we take to tell the regulator after a detection, by supply?
chat_bubble Which samples have been at the lab for more than five days?
chat_bubble Which treatment plants ran over their turbidity limit this week, and for how many minutes?
chat_bubble Which safety plan actions are overdue, and who owns them?
chat_bubble Which illness complaints came in near a low chlorine result?
chat_bubble Which supplies have no registration or an overdue safety plan review?

Switching

How to switch from WaterOutlook

A move usually involves exporting your results and daily treatment summaries, mapping your records and rules, checking a test import, then comparing the new records with WaterOutlook before you stop using it.

  1. 1

    Export your records

    Ask WaterOutlook what your account can export. Export your lab results and daily treatment summaries, and include your sampling schedule and safety plan actions where available. Exports differ by client and laboratory, so check with WaterOutlook if you are unsure what you can get or what a field means. The import accepts spreadsheet exports, commonly CSV files, but your available formats may vary.

  2. 2

    Load a test run

    Load the exports into Water Compliance and run the test import before bringing records in for real. It reads lab results and daily treatment summaries, and the import accepts common column names such as sample point, date, result, units and lab reference. It will not guess when it cannot map a field, so the test gives you a chance to fix the mapping first.

  3. 3

    Review flagged records

    Check every row the test says it cannot match, then correct the field mapping or set the record aside if you cannot resolve it. Review the imported detections too. They are listed for review rather than raised as new events, since WaterOutlook may already hold those events. Confirm that your schedule and safety plan actions have been accounted for as part of the move.

  4. 4

    Run both systems briefly

    Keep WaterOutlook running while you use the new database and Claude Code for a short period. Compare the records you rely on, including recent results, daily treatment summaries, events and notices. Check that staff can find the information they need and that missed or unmatched records have been resolved. This gives you a chance to correct the migration before you depend on the new system alone.

  5. 5

    Switch off WaterOutlook

    Once you have checked the imported records and are ready to work from the new system, stop using WaterOutlook for compliance work. Keep any records you are required to retain, and confirm your access to the new database and its history. The database and the history in it are yours, and a complete snapshot can be exported in one step.

Where the real effort goes

The main work is usually mapping your own fields and rules, then deciding how much history to bring across. Exports vary by client and laboratory, and schedules and safety plan actions may need their own mapping. If Enterprise DNA installs and runs it for you, they handle this migration work as part of the installed version.

Questions

Instead of WaterOutlook, answered

What does WaterOutlook cost compared with this? expand_more

WaterOutlook does not publish a price; each agreement is quoted, so bring yours. The free version has no licence fee; hosting and your agent subscription are separate. Enterprise DNA builds and runs your version for one setup fee, then a retainer.

Can you bring our WaterOutlook history across? expand_more

Yes. The free version reads a spreadsheet export of your lab results and your daily treatment summaries, reports every row it cannot match, and does a test run first. Exports differ by client and by laboratory, so mapping yours, along with your schedule and safety plan actions, is part of what we do for an installed version.

Does this keep us compliant with Taumata Arowai or the Victorian Department of Health? expand_more

It records what the rules expect a supplier to show: results against the standards, events, when the regulator was told, notices to consumers, resamples, the safety plan review and registration. Each check cites the New Zealand or Australian rule it comes from. It supports your own review; it does not lodge anything with the regulator or decide whether a notice is needed.

What about our live plant data and alarms? expand_more

Live trends and alarms stay in your control system, where they belong. This holds the daily summary and the compliance record that follows from it. If you want a live feed, we connect it into your version on the database you own.

What do we keep if we stop working with you? expand_more

Everything. The database, your version and the full history of samples, results, events and notices are yours. A complete snapshot exports in one step, and we agree access, backups and recovery with you when it is set up.
