Enhancing Treatment Capacity With miGRATE Technology At Verrado WRF

Due to rapid population growth in its service area, Verrado Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) in Verrado, AZ, faced a challenge. Its existing treatment capacity of 1.54 MGD had become insufficient to meet the rising demand and comply with both Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Nitrogen (TN) permits.

Why Wastewater Systems Need A Preventative Maintenance Agreement For Pumps

This article explores the value of preventative maintenance and why utilities should consider using a vendor preventative maintenance agreement (PMA) over hiring and training in-house staff.

The Power Of Storytelling In Data: How LeakZon Transforms Water Network Management

While having access to vast amounts of data is beneficial, the challenge lies in interpreting this data to make informed decisions.

Minimizing Water Outages With Targeted Valve Control

The Town of Holly Springs, NC, used Hydra-Stop's Insta-Valve 250 insertion valves to repair a leak in a transmission line without causing water service outages to over 40 residences. This solution saved the town from widespread outages and other costs associated with a system shutdown, providing better control, cost reduction, and long-term value.

Technology That Supports Water Conservation

While water conservation is a worthwhile practice anywhere and at any time of the year, the need to conserve precious water resources is especially critical in communities affected by drought.

Naples Aviation Authority ARFF Transition

In a groundbreaking effort to help airports transition from harmful PFAS-laden firefighting foams, the Naples Airport Authority enlisted ECT2 to manage the cleanup of PFAS-contaminated vehicles.
