VODA.ai

What is VODA.ai?

VODA.ai is a decision support software for water utilities. It helps water professionals make better decisions about buried assets they cannot see, including which pipes to replace, assess, monitor, or investigate next. The platform uses AI, utility data, and risk modeling to make hidden infrastructure risk visible and support defensible planning decisions.

How does VODA.ai predict water main breaks?

VODA.ai uses AI and machine learning to analyze utility data and identify pipes that are more likely to fail in the future. It helps utilities move beyond pipe age, material, break history, spreadsheets, and institutional knowledge by showing system-wide risk, including pipes with no prior breaks but elevated likelihood of failure.

What data does VODA.ai need to get started?

VODA.ai typically starts with the data a utility already has, such as GIS data, pipe attributes, historical break records, work orders, asset data, service line information, and other operational inputs. Utilities do not need perfect data to begin; VODA.ai helps prepare and improve available data over time.

How long does implementation take?

VODA.ai projects can begin creating value in the first 0 to 3 months through improved data visibility, data preparation, and a clearer understanding of data gaps. Initial model outputs, risk scores, and prioritized watch lists are often available within 3 to 6 months. Measurable operational results typically emerge within 6 to 12 months as the model is validated and used for inspections, replacement planning, and capital decisions.

Is VODA.ai used for lead service line and LCRI compliance?

Yes. VODA.ai supports lead service line programs by helping utilities manage service line data, identify likely lead and galvanized service lines, prioritize field verification, and plan replacement activity. For LCRI-related work, VODA.ai helps utilities organize data and support compliance workflows while utilities remain responsible for meeting regulatory requirements.

How is VODA.ai priced?

VODA.ai pricing is customized based on each utility’s system, data, selected solutions, and project scope. Because every utility has different infrastructure needs, data readiness, and priorities, VODA.ai builds pricing around the specific use case and value delivered.Pricing may vary depending on whether the utility is focused on break prediction, capital planning, lead service line management, logger placement, condition assessment, meters or project prioritization. VODA.ai’s goal is to make AI-driven risk prediction practical and accessible for utilities of different sizes.

Who owns the data?

Utilities retain ownership of their data. VODA.ai uses customer data to generate risk models, pipe-level insights, maps, reports, planning outputs, and decision-support recommendations. VODA.ai is ISO 27001:2022 compliant, and customer data is hosted in the United States. Learn more about VODA.ai’s data and product security measures on our Trust page.

What size utilities does VODA.ai serve?

VODA.ai serves water utilities and organizations responsible for water infrastructure. The software can support utilities that need better ways to prioritize pipe replacement, evaluate risk, plan capital investments, manage lead service line work, coordinate projects, or improve day-to-day asset decisions.
