How Generative AI Can Help Your Utility Reimagine Water Management

“Reimagining Water Management: Generative AI as a Strategic Utility Asset” presents a compelling case for utilities to adopt generative AI (GenAI) as a practical, strategic tool — not a tech trend.

ATAD Provides Increased Capacity With No Odors

Faced with persistent odor complaints and limited space, Douglas County Sewer District #1 in East Wenatchee, Washington, turned to the ThermAer second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system to modernize its biosolids treatment.

Newport News, VA Deploys 130,000 Mueller AMI Meters

Eight years ago, Newport News started having discussions about moving away from reading their mechanical, manually-read meters every other month to go to monthly billing. Knowing they did not have adequate staffing to handle that task, the department decided to outsource its meter reading responsibilities to a third party. 

Rethinking Water: How Integrated Resource Management Can Solve The Global Scarcity Crisis

In this article, discover how integrated resource management can reduce overall water demand by tailoring water use to its most appropriate application, thereby helping regions optimize their water portfolios.

From Blowers To Controls: The Path To Smarter Aeration

Aerzen’s latest hybrid blowers and intelligent control systems deliver unmatched energy efficiency, adaptive performance, and lower operational costs — helping wastewater plants modernize aeration for a smarter, more sustainable future.

Electromagnetic Meters And Ultrasonic Meters — A Comparison

Water and wastewater professionals rely on accurate flow measurements for process operation and regulatory compliance. Selecting the best flow meter for each application is essential to obtaining accurate flow data.
