10.30.26 -- A New Way To Fight 'Forever Chemicals'

Perfluoro compounds (PFCs), which are suspected carcinogens, are a growing concern for communities and a challenge that many water utilities need to address. When the Stratmoor Hills Water District detected PFCs in a seasonal well, the utility partnered with Evoqua, a Xylem company, to find a cost-effective solution.

Membrane lifecycle cost hinges on module quality, cleaning discipline, and how bid criteria are written. Long-running municipal plants show where upfront price and total cost of ownership diverge.

Pre-engineered chemical feed skids can help treatment facilities replace aging systems quickly while maintaining dosing continuity, reducing installation complexity, and minimizing operational disruption.

Discover how the Village of Oak Park faced persistent water loss by implementing a systematic leak detection and mitigation approach.

This article will explore the true meaning of water loss in terms of apparent loss, utilizing scenarios and industry technologies to help us understand this form of loss.

Quechan Casino Resort, a gaming facility located on Native American owned land in Winterhaven, California, began its wastewater treatment operations in January 2009.

Wastewater utilities need a modern solids-handling pumping solution. They need pumps that can automatically dislodge clogs, self-clean, and temporarily adjust inlet openings to accommodate larger or more difficult debris.

Like so much of America’s infrastructure, our wastewater infrastructure is aging and inadequate. Like our highways and bridges, our wastewater infrastructure needs improvement. How do we solve this problem?

Controlled-vibration screening can help septage receiving stations handle FOG, rags, grit, and debris while reducing manual intervention, shortening truck offload times, and simplifying maintenance.

Limited visibility into distribution networks can cause issues like undetected leaks and billing inaccuracies. AMI and analytics can provide continuous monitoring for improved anomaly detection and prioritized actions.

Non-revenue water drains utility budgets, resources, and public trust. Audits, ultrasonic metering with acoustic leak detection, and community engagement provide practical, cost-effective steps to curb losses and improve efficiency.

In the evolution of water distribution, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has become a valuable asset in reducing labor requirements, improving customer service and billing, and providing a baseline of information for better data management. The question is how much more can AMI do, and how can water utilities take maximum advantage? Here are some insights and ideas.
