FEATURED ARTICLES

Leak Detection On Water Distribution Network Using Clamp-On Flow Meters

A global engineering company realized that their leak identification methods were time consuming and expensive, and so began to explore alternative solutions, such as ultrasonic flow meters. 

Connecting The Water Cycle: Bridging The Physical-Digital Gap

There are many reasons why an AMI system might fail, but more often than not it boils down to gaps in the physical-to-digital transition.

Enhancing Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure

M.E. Simpson Company, Inc. is proud to introduce the comprehensive NASSCO MACP Level 2 Inspection Program, designed to empower utilities with valuable insights into the structural integrity of the sewer structures.

How Statistical Methods Help Low Lead (And No Lead) Water Systems

Did you know that the primary value of statistical methods and predictive modeling comes after the initial inventory is created? This is especially true if you believe you have no lead in your system (or have minimal lead) but don’t have records to verify every service line’s material.

Asset Management Basics: Building A Strong Foundation

Navigating asset management requires four fundamental pillars: alignment across the organization, making risk-based decisions, extracting maximum value from assets, and having strong corporate leadership and support.

Why You Need More Than Meters In Your Advanced Metering Infrastructure

By connecting sensors and instruments to AMI networks, water utilities can glean a level of visibility into and control over distribution systems that isn’t possible with flow data alone.

PFAS Beyond Removal: 7 Often-Overlooked Factors

While performance and cost matter, there are a range of other factors that can have a substantial impact on the overall viability and success of a solution.

How To Ensure Accurate Reporting Data For Deep Well Injection

The heavy reporting requirements associated with deep well injection means wastewater facilities need to have the most accurate and reliable metering possible.

Hidden Costs: The Impact Of Non-Revenue Water On Utilities And Communities

Water utilities must grasp the complete scope, including social and environmental costs, to comprehend the consequences of ignoring or postponing measures to address NRW.

Drinking Water Disinfection In A New Hampshire Town

The town of Hillsborough, NH, chose Atlantium's HOD UV system to disinfect their drinking water due to its low disinfection by-products and reliable virus inactivation. Atlantium's UV technology is validated and offers stable and efficient water treatment solutions.
