03.14.25 -- EPA To Revise 'Waters of the United States' Rule — Again

The U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) mandate the removal of all lead service lines within 10 years and lower the action level for lead in drinking water. But what does this mean for your water system? Join Water Online Live on March 25 for insights on LCRI requirements, enforcement challenges, funding options, and best practices for compliance.

Cartridge-based PFAS removal systems mitigate the risk of operator exposure, cross contamination, as well as the reintroduction of PFAS into the environment during or after disposal.

Aquafine TOC reduction units coupled with ion exchange systems or EDI will oxidize trace organics into smaller ionic species, carbon dioxide, and water, which are more readily removed by ion exchange resins, EDI, and/or degasifiers.

Well water from several locations in Ridgecrest, CA, area is high in arsenic, carbonates, and pH. Due to the high levels of arsenic, some wells are not being used to supply municipal water to the city of Ridgecrest and were shut down. Due to local demand, the feasibility of treating these wells to remove most of the arsenic before blending with water from other wells is being investigated.

Up until recently, there was no empirical data to support the position that bypasses, for the routine operation of resilient wedge gate valves, are not needed. 

Since the name implies that they can be flushed after use, many assume that flushable wipes dissolve completely when flushed. However, it has been recently discovered that not all of these wipes are safe to flush.

The Independence Hill Conservancy District's Taney Lift Station was having continuous problems with wipes, swiffers, and plastics deposited in the incoming lines, which then broke loose in storms and overwhelmed the old non-clog pumps.

Faced with increasing costs for controlling hydrogen sulfide in its wastewater collection system, the City of Bakersfield, California commissioned an evaluation of its program in 2019.

Lagoons have been an accepted method of wastewater treatment for many years. However, after they are in use for an extended time period, they are often plagued with problems, including odors, sludge buildup, and poor effluent quality. 

The BluBox MBR system was installed in a master-planned community, meeting water quality standards and providing a cost-effective solution. M|MBR Systems played a crucial role in plant operations and supported the community's rapid growth.

This documentation is intended to help system integrators to set up a water plant more securely.

In the world of water utilities, two crucial systems often operate in parallel: SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) and AMI (advanced metering infrastructure). While both play vital roles in managing water networks, their separation can create challenges for utilities striving for efficiency and reduced water loss.
