DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Severn Trent Exceeds Leak Reduction Targets With Innovative Itron Water Solutions

  Severn Trent’s smart metering program, powered by Itron’s technology, is transforming water conservation—reducing leaks by 6 million liters, cutting costs, and empowering customers to use water more wisely.

• From Zero To 2 Million

  Since 1977, Endress+Hauser has produced over two million electromagnetic flowmeters. That is more than any other manufacturer. “This magic number stands for high-quality measuring technology and, above all, satisfied customers in all kinds of industries,” says Bernd-Josef Schäfer, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG, the center of competence for flow measuring technology.

• 6 Objections To AMI – And Why They Are No Longer Valid

  This article presents common misconceptions about advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) among water utilities, and why modern AMI technology, in particular NaaS, overcomes them.

• Australian City Installs Microclor On‐Site Sodium Hypochlorite Generation System

  Bathurst is the home of the Bathurst 1000 Race, the largest NASCAR-style “touring car” race in Australia. On race day, tens of thousands of additional visitors tax the capacity of the Bathurst 5 million-gallon-per- day wastewater treatment plant. The diligence and capability of the treatment staff allows the plant to meet the challenge every year. 

• Prefabricating Plastic Piping For Better Form, Fit, Function, And Financing

  Thermoplastic piping systems have long proven their value for certain aspects of chemical and water conveyance at water and wastewater treatment facilities. Maximizing that value by using plastic piping specialists to help engineer and prefabricate the perfect piping designs offers multiple benefits, from pushing the design envelope to optimizing costs and timing. Here are some key factors to consider.

• Sustainable Water Management Solutions

  Explore how utilities can deal with non-revenue water, or water that has been produced and is lost before it reaches the customer. 

• Specifying Performance Over Equipment Quickly Reduces THMs In The Colorado Springs' Distribution System

  Colorado Springs, Colorado, enjoys some of the highest quality drinking water in the country, with most of its water coming from high country snowmelt. Despite its pristine origin in the mountains, the water at the far end of the distribution system is prone to developing trihalomethanes (THMs) due to low turnover and high water age.

• Listening For — And Finding — The Leaks That Can't Be Seen

  Decades ago, farmers and ranchers around San Marcos, Texas, formed a utility to get water to cattle. Today, Crystal Clear Special Utility District (CCSUD) serves not only rural operations but swaths of a growing metropolis stretching from San Antonio to Austin, providing water to nearly 6,000 connections.

• Drinking-Water And Wastewater Infrastructure Act Of 2021: The Breakdown For Metered Technology

  In May of 2021, the Senate passed the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act of 2021 (DWWI Act). They have allocated $250 million of grant money, broken down into $50 million segments each year starting in 2022 and ending in 2026. Due to this bipartisan legislation, small public water systems should consider taking advantage of this unique funding opportunity. Keep reading to see if you may qualify.

• Key Indicators Of Tube Settler Strength: Module Design And Construction

  There is a common misconception about tube settlers that thicker material, whether it’s thermoformed or extruded, yields a stronger, more structurally capable module. On the surface, this seems like a reasonable assumption. However, when we look at the details of module design and construction, we see that this is not always true.
