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.

When Lafayette South America textile manufacturer in Bogota, Colombia, couldn’t find the little blue paper strips it had previously used to test for the presence of sodium hydrosulfite in its post-reduction dyebath, it went looking for an alternative

As utilities prepare for the pending 4-ppt PFAS drinking water MCL, many are discovering that legacy lead/lag designs — workhorses for decades when treating contaminants in the ppm and ppb range — simply are not optimized for the parts per trillion-level (ppt) precision PFAS demands.

Utilities need to revisit mistakes of the past and ask tough questions about what it truly means to treat and remove PFAS.

Eliminate the hidden costs of valve automation. Discover how transitioning to maintenance-free, continuous-duty electric actuation with efficient gear designs prevents unexpected downtime, lowers total lifecycle costs, and optimizes process reliability for critical water infrastructure.

What does it take to stay ahead of tightening drinking water standards? See how utilities are turning regulatory pressure into smarter infrastructure investment.

This bulletin delves into a more detailed discussion of the bearing and frictional resistance forces at work to balance thrust forces generated in pressurized pipelines.

Replacing mechanical seals twice per year was difficult and expensive for Chester, IL, but a more serious problem occurred when the seals failed with the Mississippi River at flood stage and the sealed lift station underwater.

Automating manual water meter readings reduces non-revenue water loss and eliminates tedious site inspections. Retrofitting existing meters with cellular data loggers provides continuous, real-time analytics, enabling operators to identify hidden leaks and optimize multi-facility infrastructure management instantly.

As a proactive wastewater treatment operator, EWE wanted a system to optimize the energy consumption associated with aeration and improve safety with better system control of chemical usage.
