Tune into this episode for a wide-ranging conversation with Jim Good, Chairman and Founder of Parkview Advisors, that explores why progress in the water sector often moves more slowly than the technologies designed to advance it.
The clock is ticking for water utilities across the nation. With federal compliance deadlines for PFAS and other contaminants of emerging concern looming on the horizon, the municipal water sector is facing an unprecedented wave of operational and regulatory pressure. Are communities truly prepared for what’s coming, or are they waiting too long to act?
In this on-demand webinar, Ecolab introduces the next-generation PRSM™ Softening Calculator, a powerful and free tool built to help water professionals evaluate system designs, optimize operating conditions, and clearly quantify total value delivered (TVD).
CLOSING THE GAP: A MODERN PLAYBOOK FOR NON-REVENUE WATER
Reducing non-revenue water (NRW) is no longer just an operational goal; it’s a strategic imperative that directly affects asset life, service reliability, affordability, and public trust. This e-book on NRW is intended as a practical guide for utilities ready to take the next step — from managing water loss to controlling it.
