## How leading water utility partners use Daupler

"We use Daupler for things like water main breaks, water turn-on or turn-offs and sewer issues. It documents our work, makes our response process easier and helps us respond faster. Now I get accurate reporting and don’t have to chase anyone down for more information."

**Gary Graham**  
City of Loveland, CO

“By using Daupler, we've gotten rid of all the phone tag, so we're saving at least 10 or 15 minutes per call. Which doesn't seem like a lot, but when you have a 20-inch main break dumping hundreds of gallons a minute, that makes a big, big difference in what we do."

**Josh Davidson**
