DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• How Much Can Leak Detection Reduce Non-Revenue Water Losses?

  Utilities that choose not to install proactive leak detection know exactly how much they are ‘saving’ by avoiding that investment. Unfortunately, they often have no idea of how much they are actually ’paying’ to forego it, since 65 to 75 percent of water leaks never surface to prove their hidden expense. Now, with challenges related to water scarcity, regulatory reporting demands, AMI implementation, and an increase in aging infrastructure, it’s a better time than ever to reevaluate those costs.

• Case Study Report For Z-88® Radium Removal – Village Of Oswego, IL

  The Village of Oswego, IL selected WRT’s Z-88® Radium Removal treatment system to remove high concentrations of radium in their public drinking water.  Eight city wells are currently being treated by Z-88® Radium Removal treatment systems.  All eight treatment facilities are now producing safer drinking water since the first installations in 2005. 

• Lakes Powell And Mead Don't Have To Dry Up

  First, it was Lake Mead, behind Hoover Dam. Now it's Lake Powell, upstream of Mead and behind Glen Canyon Dam. The water supplies supported by these feats of engineering are dwindling. There are many reasons, but it's not necessary.

• Finding A More Affordable Migration Path To Net Zero Leakage

  Whether decision-makers consider it ultimately attainable or not, there is something positive to be said about striving toward ‘net zero leakage’ in water distribution systems saddled with high non-revenue-water (NRW) losses. The key is taking affordable steps — like those described below — toward identifying and mitigating the most egregious water loss locations in a distribution system, based on readily accessible data.

• Degas Separator Selected For Wichita Aquifer Storage And Recovery Project

  In the 1990s, the City of Wichita, KS, developed a water supply plan that included creating a sustainable water supply through the year 2050. The key component of the plan is recharging the large aquifer that lies under the region with 100 MGD of water from the Little Arkansas River.

• RO Membranes' Protection At SWRO Facility, Asia

  Atlantium HOD UV systems provide effective RO membrane protection by combining ultraviolet water disinfection technology with hydraulic and optic principles.

• Why Should I Install A Water Storage Tank Mixer?

  Throughout my experience, I’ve tried countless ways to ensure my drinking water was of high quality. By far, the best, most efficient, and effective way I’ve found is by using an active water storage tank mixer.

• Advanced Flow Meters Save Millions In Maintenance Costs And Non-Revenue Water Loss

  Learn how a municipal water treatment department reduced annual maintenance costs by $265,000, while forecasting an ultimate savings of up to $3 million in yearly non-revenue water losses. 

• Three Valleys Water District Chooses Low-Maintenance Enclosed Ammonia Feed System For Chloramination

  Three Valleys Municipal Water District (Three Valleys) is one of 26 water agencies that comprise the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). Three Valleys is the primary source of supplemental water for the Pomona, Walnut, and East San Gabriel Valleys.

• Cottage Grove Municipal Treatment System Removes PFAS Compounds From Well Water Using Granular Activated Carbon

  Located in the Twin Cities metro area, the city of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, needed to increase the capacity of its drinking water system. To meet demands for compliant water two additional wells were equipped with treatment systems designed to reduce PFAS.
