The data used and displayed in the MiWater Aqualus Water application is sourced from:
- Telemetry (AMR) data - Raw data received from telemetry provider. This data is imported daily.
- Companion data - System tables and lists, providing integration and context to the telemetry data. This information is provided by the utility. When companion data is uploaded into MiWater Aqualus Water it becomes available immediately.
- Reporting data - The marriage of telemetry and reporting data, to provide meaning, purpose and value to the user.

- Telemetry data is configured to import automatically into MiWaterAqualus Water.
- Companion data is compiled by the water utility. A bulk import of this data is done when MiWater Aqualus Water is first set up and then smaller imports (called deltas) are provided by the water utility at regular intervals in order to maintain the accuracy of data within MiWaterAqualus Water. Companion data is sourced from corporate rates, ERP, asset management and CRM systems.

- Data from MiWater Private from Aqualus Water (the staff portal) feeds across to MiWater Public (the customer portal). MiWater Public to Aqualus Water Customer Portal.
