Water utility serving 1M+ customers across California with infrastructure modernization focus
Golden State Water operates a multi-community water system across California with a tech stack rooted in legacy enterprise systems (JD Edwards, Oracle CC&B, SCADA/PLC) and operational tools (Cityworks, Automic). Active projects center on SCADA infrastructure upgrades and system acquisitions, while pain points cluster around meter reading optimization, cloud integration, and cyber security — indicating a utility caught between maintaining aging critical infrastructure and modernizing customer-facing operations.
Golden State Water is an investor-owned public utility (owned by NYSE-listed American States Water Company) providing water service to over 1 million customers across more than 80 communities in Northern, Coastal, and Southern California. Founded in 1929, the company operates a 501–1,000 person organization heavily weighted toward operations (field, field support, maintenance). Core infrastructure includes SCADA systems, PLC networks, and HMI platforms for water distribution and treatment. The operations-heavy staffing and active projects around capital improvements, system acquisitions, and disaster recovery planning reflect the capital-intensive nature of utility infrastructure management.
Primary systems include JD Edwards (ERP), Oracle CC&B (billing), Oracle BI Publisher (reporting), SCADA/PLC/HMI (operational control), Cityworks (asset management), Automic Workload Automation, and Wonderware. Database layer runs on Oracle Database and Linux.
