Remote Water Meter Reader: How To Retrofit Existing Water Meters For Automatic Reading

Automating manual water meter readings reduces non-revenue water loss and eliminates tedious site inspections. Retrofitting existing meters with cellular data loggers provides continuous, real-time analytics, enabling operators to identify hidden leaks and optimize multi-facility infrastructure management instantly.

Novel Cyclodextrin Polymer Adsorbents For PFAS Removal

Modern water treatment demands highly selective adsorbents to combat complex PFAS contamination. By leveraging dual-action molecular cavities, these stable polymers provide rapid kinetics, resist organic fouling, and support sustainable regeneration for superior environmental remediation.

Meter Data Management 101: The Essential Middle Layer That Turns Raw AMI Data Into Trust And Revenue

Meter Data Management systems transform raw AMI data into validated insights, enabling accurate billing, leak detection, and operational analytics while helping utilities manage growing data volumes securely and efficiently.

AMI Under The Microscope: Beaverton Water Division Answers Questions About Its AMI Transition

Beaverton Water Division’s transition to Kamstrup AMI and acoustic leak detection is modernizing meter reading, reducing infrastructure costs, improving leak identification, and streamlining operations as deployment progresses.

AEC PFAS Removal System Reduces PFAS Contamination In New Jersey

This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of a new technology for removing PFAS from well water to below the EPA’s detection limits.

Optimizing Pump Systems Through Retrofitting

For aging pump systems, a full replacement is not always practical or cost-effective. In such cases, retrofitting offers a compelling alternative, breathing new life into existing infrastructure.

Planning For The Unknown: How To Prepare For A Catastrophic Failure Of Your Sewer System

Contingency planning for sewer system failures is often overlooked. Learn why a successful contingency plan can reduce costs, save reputations, and protect public health.

Devastated Community Finds Innovative Wastewater Solution

The community of Kinglake West was on a waiting list to receive government financing for a new sewer system when, in 2009, a disastrous fire swept through the area. The damage was so extensive that funding for a wastewater collection system was expedited. The new system needed to be up and running as soon as possible, without being an undue financial burden to homeowners.

Identifying Contaminants Of Concern

In this article, we outline the sources, occurrence, known health issues, and mitigation options for specific contaminants.

Oak Park, Illinois: Turning Continuous Acoustic Data Into Measurable Water Savings

Aging underground infrastructure can cause severe, invisible non-revenue water losses. Implementing continuous acoustic loggers with AI-driven analytics isolates the precise signatures of subsurface leaks, allowing utilities to target hidden failures early and maximize capital efficiency.
