1. Empowering Smarter Decisions With Pipeline Data 11/25/2025

   Through case studies and technical insights, this paper demonstrates how utilities can use inspection tools, valve assessments, structural modeling, and predictive analytics to make informed decisions.

2. PFAS, PFOA & PFOS Contaminant Treatment Solutions 11/25/2025

   Polyfluroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, are man-made chemicals found in many everyday items. You can find them in products such as fast-food wrappers, stain-resistant fabrics, non-stick cookware and firefighting foams, among others. 

   PFAS, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perflurooctane sulfonate (PFOS) - collectively known as PFAS, has been detected in rivers, lakes, streams, aquifers, municipal and private wells, impacting drinking and process water. 

   Based on the newly proposed EPA PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation, Xylem’s MitiGATOR™ mobile system and our permanent treatment systems are capable of meeting the updated requirements. Additionally, the EPA pre-publication notice recognizes granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange resin as Best Available Technologies (BAT) for PFAS treatment.  

   Proven Solutions for PFAS Mitigation

   We are solutions-based, whether you are a municipal customer or an industrial partner. That means we focus on treating PFAS in water rather than selling you a specific product. We provide the most effective solutions based on your water and treatment goals. Whether you need permanent, emergency, mobile, and/or rental solutions, we offer flexible financing options to meet your needs. 

   Municipal Drinking Water Producers
   We offer comprehensive PFAS removal for municipal drinking water applications. From initial discovery and consultation through installation and ongoing operational support, we leverage our expertise and proven success to achieve targeted treatment goals for communities of all sizes nationwide.  

   One notable example is our collaboration with a New Hampshire community, where we worked with the town from testing through installation to ensure their treatment objectives were met. 

   Whether you serve millions or hundreds, we can offer assistance and expertise from the moment you discover PFAS in your water. After reviewing water quality testing results, we can design and deploy pilot tests or rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCT) using the best media suited for your specific water chemistry and treatment goals. 

   What rapid response solutions does Xylem have to mitigate PFAS? 

   • Emergency mobile solutions like our MitiGATOR™ mobile system
   • Short-term rental units 
   • Long-term rental units and lease-to-own 

   If you can’t shut down your contaminated water source, we can respond quickly with emergency mobile units. These can be purchased for long-term use or provide contaminant removal while a more permanent solution is being designed. We also offer short-term mobile units for rent, which can be used on-site for a specific duration, or longer-term mobile placements for projects on a contract basis. 

   As a technology-agnostic provider, we can design the most effective systems to meet or exceed your treatment goals, utilizing a wide variety of media and vessel options. Xylem can partner with municipalities directly and/or engineering firms to seamlessly integrate our solutions into existing systems, tailoring our designs to meet site-specific requirements such as footprint and height. 

   Airports and Military Bases
   Airports and military bases are actively working to remove PFAS and other contaminants from groundwater and soil left from decades of firefighting training exercises. Some states are even awarding grants specifically for PFAS testing and cleanup at airports. We have successful installations on airfields, military bases and within the aerospace industry. Additionally, our soil remediation solutions can be implemented alongside groundwater remediation efforts ensuring
   we meet maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) and other treatment goals.

   Construction and Commercial Dewatering
   For short-term or project-based site remediation related to contaminated groundwater, we offer proven mobile solutions. We can schedule for planned projects or respond to emergency needs with our fleet of mobile assets. From mitigating high water tables to removing contaminants such as PFAS from site groundwater we provide expertise and proven solutions.

   Industrial Water
   Industrial wastewater often requires treatment for PFAS and other contaminants prior to municipal discharge. Among a wide variety of industrial wastewater solutions, we provide ion exchange media and services which mitigate metals and other inorganics as well as contaminants like PFAS. 

   With one of the nation's largest and most versatile mobile fleets, and a wide array of permanent vessel systems we can meet or exceed both treatment goals and expectations across a wide range of municipal and industrial markets.

3. Key West Resort Utilities Maximizes Reuse And Nutrient Recovery 11/25/2025

   Water scarcity poses unique challenges to KW Resort Utilities Corp. (KWRU), the utility firm that provides wastewater management, wastewater recovery, and wastewater treatment in the region. KWRU began operation in the late 1960s and has worked hard over the decades to keep up with wastewater needs as population and tourism have boomed, spurred by land reclamation and development. 

4. AI, Data Centers, And Water 11/25/2025

   Amid the AI-fueled gold rush, more leaders are beginning to pay attention to the short- and long-term natural resource concerns, especially around all the water needed to keep data centers running.

5. Is This The End Of Affordable Water? 11/24/2025

   Water pricing often fails to reflect scarcity, quality, or long-term risk, forcing companies to act internally. But this action is not being done in a vacuum. The ripple effect of internal water pricing is bound to impact water utilities, and ultimately, ratepayers and consumers. 

6. How Artificial Grass Installations Help Reduce Stormwater Runoff And Improve Local Ecosystems 11/24/2025

   In areas with storm drains, the water can quickly overwhelm the drains, causing flooding hazards. For this reason, many towns have ordinances dictating how much ground can be covered with impermeable substrates.

7. PFAS Settlements: Debunking The Myths And Revealing What's Really At Stake For Water Utilities 11/19/2025

   Misinformation and confusion could prevent some utilities from benefitting from the aqueous film-forming foam multidistrict litigation (AFFF MDL) settlements. Here are five common myths about the AFFF MDL PFAS settlements and how public water systems can make the most of this unprecedented funding opportunity.
