08.14.25 -- Turning PFAS Into Fluoride; Rethinking Water Utility Regionalization

The Fall 2025 Virtual Water Expo is a free, online event designed for water utility professionals, contractors, and consultants focused on advancing smarter, more resilient infrastructure. Held across three dates — August 20, September 3, and September 17 — each session features concise, 15-minute technology showcases tailored to critical industry challenges, from flow control and measurement to digital optimization and wastewater treatment. Attendees only need to register once for full access to all sessions and an archive library of past expos.

What began as a mandate to reduce water loss has grown into a model of smart water management for the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians (EBCI). Since deploying Kamstrup’s ultrasonic meters in 2016, the utility has transitioned from crisis response to innovation leadership — proving that even the most rugged terrain can support advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

Electromagnetic flow meters offer accurate, low-maintenance flow measurement for conductive liquids — delivering long service life, low power usage, and seamless system integration without moving parts or flow obstructions.

Water is by far the most widely used natural resource in the United States, with approximately 42 billion gallons consumed daily to support activities ranging from bathing to industrial manufacturing. Yet, in municipalities approximately 6 billion gallons of water are lost to leaks every day, and inefficient energy practices result in excess energy costs of up to 30 percent.

Despite their higher upfront cost, ceramic membranes deliver a notable return on investment while providing the same if not better water quality results as polymeric membranes.

This paper is a valuable resource for water utilities who want to upgrade their communications practices, so they can nurture better, lasting relationships with their customers. 

This article will tackle the true meaning of water loss in terms of real loss, using scenarios and industry technologies to help us discover real loss.

In this case study, read about AV's unique Concept to Commission approach which enabled a team to design, manufacture, and install GAC systems and interconnecting site pipe in just 10 working hours. 

At Galbani, one of Italy’s premier dairy producers known for its fresh mozzarella, controlling microbial contamination is essential to preserving product quality and shelf life. Pseudomonas spp., notorious for thriving in moist environments and resisting chlorine, posed a persistent threat across their production lines in Corteolona and Casale Cremasco.

In a world where access to clean and safe water is increasingly vital, AquaKnight emerges as the steadfast guardian of clean drinking water in the ongoing battle against PFAS.

Temporary water reuse systems help industrial plants avoid costly downtime by maintaining treatment capabilities during maintenance, failure, or testing — offering fast deployment, flexibility, and permanent-quality results.

Proprietary composite spiral element. Available in fiberglass and netting wrap configurations. Anti-telescoping device (ATD) both ends. Brine seal (one end) — fiberglass wrap only.

Being able to predict the performance of a pump during its start-up cycle has distinct advantages. Among them are more reliable starts, optimal startup torque, and minimal risk of motor overload. It is therefore considered good engineering practice to analyze the pump system’s starting cycle. By performing start calculations using an accurate mathematical model of the system, we determine optimal system pressures and flow rates at start-up.

LeakZon developed an analytical solution to reduce the non-revenue water (NRW) rate by analyzing raw AMR, GIS map, CIS, and other environmental data.
