FEATURED ARTICLES

Advanced Ozone Disinfection – City Of Fayetteville, AR

Discover how Fayetteville upgraded wastewater disinfection with advanced ozone technology, improving contaminant removal, reducing energy use, and delivering reliable, sustainable treatment for future regulatory demands.

Ensuring Optimal Water Sanitation In Swimming Pools And Water Attractions

Clear water isn’t always clean. Proper pool sanitation requires balanced chemistry, accurate chemical dosing, and correctly sized equipment to ensure safety, comfort, and compliance.

AEC PFAS Removal System Reduces PFAS Contamination In New Jersey

This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of a new technology for removing PFAS from well water to below the EPA’s detection limits.

How To Ensure Accuracy And Reduce Maintenance In Open Channels

Radar-based measurement like the OPTIWAVE 1520 delivers accurate, low-maintenance flow data in open channels—helping utilities reduce operating expenses, improve compliance, and overcome limitations of traditional methods.

Expert Insights On Advanced Metering Infrastructure Deployment

Dave Rubin, a Hubbell brand senior director for product management at ACLARA, shares insights on building business practice changes into AMI project plans, securing internal buy-in, and more.

The Case For Using Wastewater Pumps In Industrial Settings

Learn how today’s modern wastewater pumps have the capacity to serve efficiently and economically in a variety of industrial applications without the high cost of specialty pumps.

Pittsburgh Water Sets New Standard With Customer Request Sampling To Support Lead Service Line Replacement

Discover how 120Water helped Pittsburgh Water reduce their turnaround times, streamline sampling workflows, and save hours of work. Learn how you can also use sampling to support your replacement and community engagement programs with their case study.

Choosing The Right Instrumentation For Produced Water Treatment Systems

A range of devices are required to cost-effectively manage the lifecycle of produced water. Operators often face the question of which process instrumentation is the right fit given the unique requirements of their application.

A New Master Lift Station Comes Into Service For Natchitoches, LA

The oldest town in the Louisiana Purchase, Natchitoches currently has a population of approximately 20,000 people. An old town means old infrastructure, so a project to upgrade the city’s master lift station was recently set into motion.

Solving Foaming Problems At Your WWTP

This project provides an unusual "before-and-after" comparison of how a high-solids loaded digester system with a Rotamix mixing system performed before and after the Foambuster was installed.

The Water Talent Shortage Is Also A Diversity Problem

Utilities across the U.S. are facing growing pressure from aging infrastructure, climate resilience demands, regulatory scrutiny, and a workforce approaching retirement. Yet despite the scale of the challenge, much of the industry is still drawing talent from the same narrow pools and approaching hiring the same way it did years ago. That approach is becoming increasingly unsustainable.

How Satellite IoT Can Enhance Remote Water System Monitoring

There is a noticeable shift in how monitoring data is being treated across the water sector. It is no longer something that sits quietly in the background of operations, collected for compliance, and reviewed periodically. It is being examined more closely, and more often, by a wider set of stakeholders.
