The primary sources of taste and odor problems in drinking water are algae and bacteria. This fact sheet delves into the different kinds of compounds that cause taste and odor issues in drinking water.

High levels of radionuclides (uranium/radium/etc.) in drinking water aren’t very common, but they are very dangerous. If you’ve long dealt with radionuclides, you’re familiar with the treatment requirements — but are you treating as cost effectively as possible?

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.

Non-Revenue Water is a well-known global problem that results in large volumes of water being lost. It is a very real challenge faced by the majority of water utilities as a consequence of increased urbanization, higher demand, increased prices and aging distribution networks.

Water distribution system managers and administrators — whether they are dealing with water scarcity, mandated regulatory compliance, or non-revenue water (NRW) losses — have to be concerned about financial as well as physical solutions. Fortunately, more comprehensive solutions are being developed to afford success in both of those areas. Here are several examples of what is being achieved.

Condensation, build up, obstructions and silt can cause difficulties in making reliable level measurements in lift station wet wells. New trends in low cost radar units solve these problems.

Wastewater treatment plants are tasked with removing contaminants from water before it’s safely released back into the environment. With the complexity and volume of wastewater treatment, traditional monitoring methods can be slow and labor-intensive. However, fluorometers are transforming how these plants operate by providing rapid, real-time measurements of water quality.

As water utilities face the challenges of sustainability, efficiency, and service quality, digital technology has become a necessity. The right tech can help deliver reliable service, optimize systems, and meet sustainability goals, but integrating the data streams these solutions generate can offer even greater gains – allowing utilities to move faster and achieve more powerful outcomes.

Transcend Design Generator (TDG) is a custom-made design software system created by wastewater engineers. Its user-friendliness and accessibility enable those with no prior knowledge of wastewater engineering concepts to work alongside those with extensive experience.

Bethpage Water District’s (New York) outdated water metering system led to customer service concerns, such as a slow response time for detecting leaks and insufficient data for billing inquiries. By installing new meters and advanced metering analytics software, the district increased visibility into its operations, resulting in greater revenue and improved customer service.
