08.31.26 -- Harnessing Wastewater As Early Warning System For Public Health Protection

Drinking water taste and odor issues — which have increased in both frequency and intensity in recent years — are putting municipalities in a tough spot. Beyond the simple aesthetic ramifications, failing to address these issues invariably creates consumer uncertainty about the quality and safety of the water.

This report summarizes results and conclusions of a groundwater treatment pilot test program. This pilot test program was undertaken to demonstrate the effectiveness of water treatment products that employ oxidation and filtration to remove iron, manganese and arsenic to levels well below MCL’s. Operating data collected during the study will be used to confirm the design of full-scale facilities.

PFAS rules are shifting fast. Learn how utilities can futureproof treatment strategies with flexible designs, smart staging, and emerging technologies — avoiding stranded assets and staying ahead of tomorrow’s regulations.

A self-starting backup pump combines the pump and power in a single package, providing 100% redundancy plus additional capacity when needed, all without relying on generators or external power sources.

Pressurized dewatering is typically suitable for sewer systems in outlying areas with no direct access to local gravity sewer lines. It solves ground water pollution problems by utilizing current pumping technology combined with modern trends in sewage removal.

Wet weather events are a growing concern for wastewater treatment plant operators, but a new twist on cloth media filtration may provide the answer to their peak flow management problems.

Historically, lift station operators have turned to chemical treatments as the primary means of managing grease buildup. However, these methods carry inherent drawbacks. 

Stories of real success with packaged pumping and wastewater treatment systems at breweries are explored, including for regulatory compliance and/or water reuse capabilities. Packaged pumping and treatment systems have helped hundreds of brewers meet their permits for local collection and/or direct surface discharge.

How new advanced-filtration materials are making headway in treating problematic industrial water streams for reuse or disposal. 

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.

Proper maintenance can help you extend the life of your pipe rehab gear and avoid costly repairs. Explore some tips for protecting your equipment and avoid downtime from unexpected damage.

Explore how operational and financial resilience can be improved by implementing a water infrastructure digital twin.

Join water utility professionals on September 9, 2026, for a Virtual Water Expo session focused on smart metering, instrumentation, and data. Explore advanced metering technologies, flow measurement solutions, communication networks, and digital analytics platforms that help utilities monitor performance, improve operational efficiency, enhance data visibility, and turn critical system information into actionable insights.
