American Water Resources and the Philadelphia Energy Authority Offer New Home Warranty Products for Philadelphia Homeowners Through Partnership

American Water Resources and the Philadelphia Energy Authority Offer New Home Warranty Products for Philadelphia Homeowners Through Partnership

Partnership expansion includes multi-year contract that helps save homeowners money for costly repairs

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
American Water Resources (AWR), a subsidiary of American Water, the nation’s largest publicly traded water and wastewater utility company, announced today it has added new optional home warranty coverage options for Philadelphia homeowners as part of a renewed multi-year contract with the Philadelphia Energy Authority (PEA).

“Since 2018, we have been working with the Philadelphia Energy Authority to reduce the high cost of common water and sewer line repairs that are not typically covered by standard homeowner’s insurance,” said Eric Palm, President of American Water Resources. “We are proud of the current savings our home warranties provide to customers, but product expansion through our partnership is imperative to meet the needs of our 85,000+ customers in Philadelphia.”

For the last two years, the partnership between AWR and PEA offered homeowners protection from the unexpected through the optional Water Line and Sewer Line Protection Plan. Expanded coverage options are now available for Philadelphia homeowners through AWR’s partnership with the PEA. Bundled products include electric line, gas line and surge, offered for a discounted monthly rate of $11.98/month, as well as in-home plumbing clog ($7.99/month) and water heater repair and replacement ($9.99/month).

“Philadelphia’s infrastructure is aging, making the water and sewer lines that homeowners are responsible for more susceptible to leaks and breaks,” said Alon Abramson, Program Manager, Philadelphia Energy Authority. “We’re glad to extend and expand our partnership with American Water Resources, under the leadership of Councilmember Derek Green to spread awareness of these issues and present a clear solution to our customers.”

Alongside the financial uncertainties that Philadelphians may be facing from the COVID-19 public health emergency, these older infrastructure challenges make AWR’s program extremely important. In just two years, the programs offered by AWR through PEA have provided hassle free repairs to Philadelphia homeowners. During that time, AWR has also earned a 92% customer claim satisfaction rating in Philadelphia.

“This partnership is meaningful because of the breadth of benefits it brings to the citizens of Philadelphia,” said Councilmember Derek Green (At-Large). “Not only have these programs protected homeowners from the burden of unexpected and unavoidable repairs, but it has also contributed to new job opportunities in our City. As we’re all spending more time at home these days, we’re putting more pressure on our homes and increasing the chances of unexpected damage. Because of this, local contractors have seen greater business and hiring opportunities.”

American Water Resources also continues to remain committed to supplier diversity. To that end, minority contractors have received over 70% of the work in Philadelphia to date.

GeoLinks Selects Senet RAN Provider Tools and Services to Provide LoRaWAN® IoT Connectivity Services Across California

Companies Collaborate to Support Low Cost IoT Sensor Deployments at a Massive Scale

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Nov. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Senet, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based software and services platforms that enable global connectivity and on-demand network build-outs for the Internet of Things (IoT), and GeoLinks, a California-based telecommunications provider and competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) public utility, today announced a partnership to deliver LoRaWAN® network connectivity across GeoLinks’ coverage areas and extend GeoLinks’ branded services to support the rapid growth of low power, wide area IoT applications.

Through this partnership, GeoLinks will be using Senet’s suite of Radio Access Network Provider Services to complete targeted network build-outs, followed by the delivery of LoRaWAN connectivity services for a broad range of IoT markets and applications over the coming months.

LVN participation also provides GeoLinks and their customers with critical services needed to deploy IoT solution at scale, including standardized device activation and deployment processes, predictable quality of service through advanced rating and network management, and roaming for mobile IoT applications.

GeoLinks and Senet are initially collaborating to target high-growth IoT applications that have proven traction in GeoLink’s coverage area, including utility services in the water and gas markets, and smart agriculture in rural areas where the characteristics of LoRaWAN provide cost and performance benefits over cellular service. Recognized on both a state and national level for its unparalleled capabilities in supporting disaster recovery, GeoLinks is also pursuing opportunities where LoRaWAN networks and low-cost, low-power IoT sensors can be used to enhance public safety and support the delivery of critical services in the utility, municipal and enterprise markets.

“We are continuing to experience a trend in which fixed and wireless network operators are recognizing the benefits of offering multiple connectivity technologies to support the growth of IoT applications and use cases,” said Bruce Chatterley, CEO at Senet. “GeoLinks owns the largest fixed wireless coverage area of any single provider in California, making them an ideal partner to deploy LoRaWAN network infrastructure and manage service delivery to customers deploying low power IoT solutions at a massive scale.”

With IoT applications being envisioned and built daily, Senet’s RAN Provider tools provide network operators, tower companies, municipalities, building owners, and solution providers with everything needed to rapidly design, deploy, and manage carrier-grade LoRaWAN networks to support both indoor and outdoor IoT solutions.

Tall Ships, Flying Dogs, a Water Circus and One Giant Duck!

The Redpath Waterfront Festival celebrates a decade on Toronto’s waterfront

TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Redpath Waterfront Festival (RWF), presented by Billy Bishop Airport, is celebrating its 10th anniversary by releasing a video highlighting the evolution of the festival since its inception in 2010.

The live celebration was supposed to take place this past June featuring the return of the World’s Largest Rubber Duck, however, due to COVID-19, the festival was postponed and ultimately cancelled. With 2020 coming to an end, the festival producers still wanted to celebrate this milestone year and show appreciation to all of the partners and attendees for their ongoing support.

The 10th anniversary video, produced by Chris Monette Films, was released today on the Redpath Waterfront Festival’s YouTube channel and features interviews and footage from those who have helped make the festival possible for the past decade, including Co-Producer Lea Parrell.

“Over the past decade, we have tried to connect our visitors to the waterfront in unique and engaging ways,” says Co-Producer Lea Parrell. “I think that our fun on-water and on-land activations have encouraged people to come back each year to discover this beautiful area of our city.”

In partnership with the Waterfront BIA, the initial objective of the Redpath Waterfront Festival was to bring visitors to this unique area and promote Toronto as a waterfront destination. The first event brought 14 tall ships that docked along the water’s edge offering visitors an opportunity to go on board the ships and experience and explore the full extent of the waterfront at the same time. Over 600,000 people attended the inaugural event in 2010 and due to its success the RWF became an annual festival.

Over the past 10 years, there have been many memorable moments, but none quite like the World’s Largest Rubber Duck’s visit in 2017. Mama Duck floated into the Toronto harbour for Canada’s 150th anniversary and drew over 750,000 visitors, creating an economic impact of $7.6M for the province of Ontario.
