The Greater Cincinnati Water Works is the first utility to pilot the software and has been using Canary to assist in detecting and managing contamination incidents since 2007. The software is currently being evaluated in four other U.S. cities — New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and San Francisco — and in Singapore.
As a free software tool, Canary is available worldwide to drinking water utilities. The software has been accessed by more than 600 users in 15 countries.
