05.12.26 -- Fast, Affordable, On-Site PFAS Test Developed; Innovations In Drought-Resilience Infrastructure Financing

AI is reshaping water loss management by turning complex utility data into clearer priorities, faster insights, and more proactive decision-making — without replacing the people responsible for running the system.

In wastewater treatment, phosphorus testing can quickly become confusing. For example, there are three different tests. So, which test was performed? Test results can be displayed in two different forms. So, which form was utilized? Tests can measure both particulate and dissolved phosphorus. So, was the sample filtered?

This application note will explore how active control programs lower operational costs of compliant contaminant removal. 

Small well sites face unique challenges in meeting new PFAS standards. Solutions emphasize simplicity and speed, with pre-rinsed vessel swaps and modular, packaged systems reducing downtime and complexity for resource-limited utilities.

Using advanced hydraulic modeling, EPM is analyzing how water flows through the sewerage system to inform decisions about operations, maintenance, network expansion, and environmental impact mitigation.

This series explores crucial questions surrounding condensate management. In the first part, we examine where condensate comes from and what it contains.

Utilities can leverage advanced technologies to make monitoring and maintenance easier for operators to execute with fewer advanced skills, while reducing manpower and increasing the life of equipment.

In this article, Steve Drangsholt, Trinnex Sales representative, and Travis Wagner, VP of Digital Consulting, discuss creating digital master plans, their benefits, and changing the narrative.

In this case study, read about an underdrain system that continues to operate as expected after 16 years of operation and appears to be in perfect condition. 

If you’re a water utility, you know about the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). It is the key element of the Safe Drinking Water Act’s public right-to know provisions, and often a missed opportunity for utilities to engage with the consumer.

There is an ever-increasing focus on sustainability within the mining industry. Mining companies are already increasing their collaboration with local communities to improve existing infrastructure, reduce costs, and monitor local water supplies alongside governmental entities, but there is still much to be done.

By not only providing a visual sonar obtained ‘picture’ of everything underwater, in any shallow body of water, the SCOUT provides the volume of sludge in the lagoon (as well as the volume of free water). The ‘picture’ provided is color enhanced in order to provide clear, definitive delineation of variable sludge accumulations and depths.

Derek Vaughan of Vaughan Company explains how the business supports American manufacturing by producing all of its wastewater products in the U.S., making them fully compliant with BABA (Build America, Buy America) standards.
