04.21.26 -- EPA Launches Water Reuse Plan 2.0; Water Reliability Ranks As Top Priority For Americans

In this Water Online Virtual Event, Kevin Westerling will be joined by industry experts Will Jernigan of Cavanaugh and Jennifer Steffens of Carollo Engineers for a closer look at how water loss is being addressed today through evolving standards, data-driven decision-making, and advanced digital technologies. Tune in to stay ahead of emerging expectations and position your utility for measurable, defensible water loss reduction — and bring your questions for the audience Q&A.

Effective algae control shifts the focus from removal to nutrient management. By leveraging bioaugmentation to outcompete algae for nitrogen and phosphorus, facilities can stabilize pH levels and dissolved oxygen, ensuring long-term pond clarity and consistent wastewater treatment performance.

Choose the right chlorine monitoring approach by weighing the continuous, reagent-free speed of amperometric sensing against the superior, stable accuracy of batch-based colorimetric analysis, ensuring long-term reliability based on specific site and process requirements.

Across the globe, water systems face an invisible crisis that drains billions of dollars every year. In the U.S. alone, aging infrastructure causes water losses costing utilities an estimated $6.4 billion annually. But a breakthrough in satellite-based leak detection is changing the game, delivering unprecedented savings and operational efficiency.

This Q&A follows the Webinar: Beaverton's New AMI Solution Checks Every Box: Operations, Billing, Service, & Savings hosted by Water Online on October 21, 2025. The webinar featured the leadership team from Beaverton Water Division as they discussed lessons learned across operations, billing, and customer service, offering a 360-degree perspective on implementing and managing an AMI system.

Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant, located in Pacifica, CA, recently retrofitted to the Thermal Process Systems’ ThermAer. This is California’s first installation of the second-generation ATAD system.

Read about a desalination plant that was in need of a practical verification methodology for permanent and/or temporary (portable) solutions on large pipes.

Global Omnium transformed its water network, implementing extensive smart meters to improve visibility, reduce inefficiencies, and enhance leak detection across over 400 cities, benefiting millions in Spain.

Smart water management systems provide real-time data and insights, allowing for more efficient water usage, improved conservation, and better disaster preparedness.

Learn how a military installation used an Insta-Valve insertion valve to repair a water leak, minimizing disruption and costs. Hydra-Stop's support was valued in maintaining military readiness.

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

When considering the resources needed for manufacturing for industrial purposes, we often overlook one of the largest and most important commodities used at almost every stage of the production process: water.

In municipal drinking water applications or pre-treatment for desalination plants using gravity filters, the filter underdrain is one of the most important components contributing to overall system performance and operation — whether a new filter design or retrofitting an existing filter.

For more than 25 years, the AquaABF Automatic Backwash Filter has received wide acclaim for its successful performance in municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment.
