The water utility industry is transitioning to wireless smart meters, creating opportunities for small- to medium-sized utilities. Cloud-based applications offer automation, data management, and remote access, providing billing solutions, water usage monitoring, and safety tools.

Read about the lessons learned from building one of the largest smart meter networks in Europe.

Historically, lift station operators have turned to chemical treatments as the primary means of managing grease buildup. However, while effective to some extent, these methods carry inherent drawbacks. Environmental concerns, regulatory compliance issues, and the ongoing operational expenses associated with chemical treatments have spurred the quest for more sustainable alternatives.

As water and wastewater systems expand, scalable centralized monitoring enables efficient management of distributed assets and meets evolving user demands.

As flooding increases along coastal and river-adjacent communities, the need for low-cost, reliable monitoring and warning systems has become a critical factor for managing these issues in real time, without requiring major infrastructure overhauls.

The Town of Holly Springs, NC, used Hydra-Stop's Insta-Valve 250 insertion valves to repair a leak in a transmission line without causing water service outages to over 40 residences. This solution saved the town from widespread outages and other costs associated with a system shutdown.

In this article, read about a Balanced Scorecard Approach, which incorporates intangible benefits and helps articulate the benefits of SCADA and other automation projects. 

How are water utilities getting the deluge of real and apparent water losses under control? The City of Elmhurst, a stately suburb west of Chicago with a population of about 46,000 residents, is a case study on how one municipality took on the issue.

Contaminants can enter water in a variety of ways. In this article, read about the measures that can be taken to reduce exposure and contamination.

Accurate, repeatable air/gas flow measurement under harsh outdoor conditions is essential to successful wastewater treatment operations when used in aeration or digester biogas applications. The challenge is that a relatively small number of flow meter technologies are capable of reliable measurement.

The Monster Manhole is a prefabricated sewer manhole with a sewage grinder that is fully assembled and ready to install. This FRP manhole is an excellent solution when a sewage grinder is needed but there is not enough room for conventional installations.

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how to achieve reliable and accurate measurements on your water and wastewater operations. Panametrics’ flow meters and process analyzers can help your water treatment facility get the most out of challenging operations through innovative technology.

FLEX-TEND flexible expansion joints are designed to protect structures and pipelines from differential movement whether this movement is earthquake induced or the gradual motion of soil subsidence. This bulletin offers a concise listing and discussion of the important features and materials of the double and single ball assemblies.
