09.02.25 -- 16 Years Of The Octave: A Legacy Of Leadership In Ultrasonic Water Measurement

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.

The Octave Ultrasonic Meter is celebrating 16 years of trusted service, and it’s more than a product milestone. It’s a recognition of the thousands of utilities that have embraced smart water management and chosen a path of long-term value.

Diaphragm pumps remain a versatile solution for chemical dosing, offering reliable performance across a wide range of applications—especially when matched correctly to flow, pressure, and chemical characteristics.

As algal blooms become more frequent and severe due to nutrient pollution and climate change, community-driven monitoring efforts are playing a vital role in safeguarding water quality and ecosystem health. Local stewards—citizens, educators, nonprofit groups, and tribal communities—are increasingly stepping up to fill critical data gaps, improve early detection, and advocate for more responsive environmental management. 

For private utilities, discharging wastewater isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. If your facility serves a resort, a golf course, a residential community, or a mixed-use development, you’re likely discharging into smaller, localized water bodies (creeks, ponds, wetlands), not large rivers or oceans. And while these ecosystems are beautiful they’re also incredibly vulnerable to nutrient loading and eutrophication.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are hazardous substances that harm ecosystems and can have severe effects on human health, compounded by their persistent nature and environmental accumulation.

Read about a desalination plant that was in need of a practical verification methodology for permanent and/or temporary (portable) solutions on large pipes.

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.

Environmental remediation involves the removal of pollutants to protect human health and restore ecosystems. Learn more about the various techniques used, and how to ensure these projects are handled professionally.

Discover how ozone treatment can be a cutting-edge solution to boost cooling tower performance in industrial operations.

Accurate measurement and control technologies are essential for achieving sustainability in water and wastewater operations by reducing energy use, minimizing losses, and optimizing chemical dosing.
