• How Strategic Asset Planning Solves Infrastructure's Toughest Challenge

  Modern infrastructure management requires moving from reactive repairs to data-driven capital planning. By quantifying risk and predictive failure patterns, utilities can justify essential funding and maximize the impact of every dollar spent on system-wide resilience.

• Making Unplanned Downtime A Myth: Why Water Utilities Should Move From Time-Based To Condition-Based Maintenance

  Many utilities still default to time-based maintenance, servicing equipment by the calendar or hours of operation of the equipment. It’s simple, but it often creates two expensive outcomes: over-maintenance and surprise failures. A smarter path is condition-based maintenance.

• A New Approach To Infrastructure Resiliency

  Extreme weather and seismic threats are driving a new collaborative approach to infrastructure. By aligning utility needs with academic research and manufacturing innovation, providers can validate resilient technologies and deploy data-backed solutions for long-term reliability.

• Designing For Growth: How To Build Modular Capacity Without Breaking Ground Twice

  Learn how to design wastewater infrastructure that grows with demand. Modular systems allow phased capacity additions that match actual flow, avoiding the high cost of oversizing and eliminating the need for disruptive, repeated construction.

• How To Bring Quiet To Pump And Pipeline Systems

  For modern pipelines and pumps, noise and vibration behavior must be considered in system design. Learn how a wastewater pumping station in Greifswald, Germany reduced pump-induced pressure fluctuations by 90%, accompanied by lower vibration levels in the discharge line, with an innovative AI-enhanced damping system.
• Why Digital Solutions Still Struggle To Gain Traction At Utilities

  Utilities need greater efficiency, lower costs, and more visibility. So, one would think the uptake for digital solutions would be smoother and faster. But it’s not. Why?
• 2026 Water Utility Outlook: Regulation, AI, And Resilience In The Face Of Scarcity

  Global Water Outcomes expert notes that “water utilities are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities,” citing the role of digital solutions moving forward.
• Do Younger Engineers In Wastewater Care More?

  Compared to their senior counterparts, do younger engineers in the wastewater industry care more about the environment? A millennial weighs in.

• The Hidden Costs Of Legacy Operational Technology

  Water and wastewater utilities can get stuck in a cycle of upgrading their legacy operational technology systems. Here’s how to break that cycle.

• Advancing Digital Solutions From Pilots To Practice In The Water Sector

  Across the water sector, the same question echoes through utilities and organizations: "We've completed a successful pilot, but now what?" While digital experimentation has become commonplace, the journey from pilot to practice remains challenging.
