Managing municipal backflow prevention programs requires tracking thousands of assemblies, test notices, and certifications. Replacing manual recordkeeping with automated digital tracking eliminates backlogs, ensuring timely enforcement and protecting public drinking water systems from contamination.

Unifying fragmented industrial control platforms streamlines operational oversight across municipal water networks. Standardized graphic displays and redundant architectures cut hardware overhead, simplify compliance reporting, and ensure continuous visibility during critical process shifts.

When you screen wastewater with 1/4” (6mm) perforated plate panels, you are going to capture a lot of stuff. The result? Tons of trash and debris — big stuff, small stuff, and smelly stuff — pulled from the wastewater channel along with tons of fecal matter.

When critical large-diameter water mains suffer catastrophic failure, trenchless carbon fiber reinforcement provides an efficient, fully structural repair. This method eliminates disruptive excavation, completely restoring pipeline integrity and high-pressure capacity from the inside out.

Non-revenue water is a global problem: Around 30% of drinking water is lost on its way to the consumer. But this decades-old problem can now be solved: By applying proven, easy-to-use digital solutions, utilities can now make the best use of data they already have from sensors and from hydraulic models to learn more about how much water they are losing and why.

Modern infrastructure management requires moving from reactive repairs to data-driven capital planning. By quantifying risk and predictive failure patterns, utilities can justify essential funding and maximize the impact of every dollar spent on system-wide resilience.

Technology is a means to an end, not the end itself. Thus, an effective digital transformation must be rooted in a well-thought-out strategy designed to address a key need.

Chlorine gas is the historical disinfection choice for municipal potable water and wastewater systems due to its low cost and ease of maintenance. However, the hazardous status of chlorine gas and its potential as a terrorist target are driving many facilities to consider alternative disinfection methods.

Well water from several locations in the Ridgecrest, CA, area was high in arsenic, carbonates, and pH. Due to the high levels of arsenic, some wells are not being used to supply municipal water to the city of Ridgecrest and were shut down.

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.
