DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Testing For Lead In Drinking Water

  Lead exposure, even in small amounts, is harmful and can come from various sources, including paint, soil, food, and water.

• Choosing The Right Water Disinfection

  In the mid-to-late 1800s, chlorine had been used sporadically to help control infection in hospitals and drinking water. Common water treatment did not start in the U.S. until the early twentieth century when increasing cases of waterborne illnesses prompted many large cities to begin large scale filtration of water supplies.

• For Pierre, South Dakota, ALPHA's Single-Bolt Install Is the 'Way to Go'

  Add Pierre, South Dakota, to the rapidly growing list of early adopters of AMERICAN Flow Control’s valves and hydrants with ALPHA restrained joint ends. Introduced last year, ALPHA saves labor, time and money.

• Maximizing ROI With Water Loss Management Systems: A Smart Investment For U.S. Cities

  This article will explore how a typical US city can save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by adopting WLM systems and the importance of reinvesting these savings into improving water networks.

• Harmsco Solutions For Small Community Water Supply

  The Township of Shenandoah, Virginia was forced to comply with new regulations being enforced by the United States EPA concerning the removal of Cryptosporidium and Giardia Cysts from surface waters. Previously, no filtration was required.

• HVAC Efficiency – The Benefits Of Optimizing Your Heating And Cooling

  There has been no shortage of studies, discussions and debates surrounding the concept of energy efficiency over the past 40 years. Scientific studies suggest a relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change, strengthening the belief that human activity was harming the environment.

• Dow Achieves Maximum Efficiency With Glass-Lined Storage Tank

  Every morning when you pour a cup of coffee or tear open a package of frozen waffles, the science of Dow Chemical is there to help make your breakfast convenient and fresh. Dow makes high-performance materials that go into food packaging, personal care products, medications, and clothing — to name a few.

• Treatment Of Cyanotoxins In Drinking Water With Activated Carbon

  Recently, cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins have become a high profile drinking water quality concern in both the United States and abroad. The combination of weather conditions, agricultural phosphate runoff, and other factors has produced water conditions that have favored the formation of cyanobacteria in surface water supplies.

• How Advanced Pressure Monitoring Bolsters Risk Mitigation And Asset Management

  Properly executing pressure management can attack pipeline failures on two fronts: by avoiding high pressures that exacerbate the problem and by providing the operational awareness needed for managing the most vulnerable spots. The insight provided by newer solutions helps accomplish this by going beyond advanced metering infrastructure as part of the building blocks for a smart utility network.

• Preparing For Lead-Service-Line Inventory And Replacement Requirements

  With all the new facets of the revised Lead and Copper Rule revisions (LCRR) — increased sampling requirements, lead service line (LSL) inventory and replacement, new communications requirements, and school/childcare-facility monitoring — any water utility that has not yet started making preparations is at risk of non-compliance now that the new rule has become law. Here are some factors to consider when reviewing LCRR requirements and conducting LSL inventories and replacements.
