To protect residents from environmental contaminants, the City of Aurora set stringent water treatment goals and adopted an advanced treatment process at the Aurora Reservoir Water Purification Facility.

When it came time to choose a new disinfection system for the drinking water facility that serves the campus, Texas A&M University’s water & environmental services department chose a proven water treatment technology: generating sodium hypochlorite on site.

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. The good news is that dosing powdered activated carbon into the water stream provides an efficient and cost-effective solution to looming taste and odor problems.

A water quality specialist used the Hach SL1000 Parallel Portable Analyzer (PPA) to test six parameters simultaneously — all within about 8 minutes. Previously, the procedure took 20 minutes just for one parameter.

Trenchless rehabilitation provides a sustainable alternative to traditional excavation for failing sewer infrastructure. High-performance geopolymer liners offer structural restoration in highly corrosive environments, minimizing urban disruption while preventing environmental hazards through efficient, spray-applied application techniques.

Effective pressure management is essential for reliable municipal water delivery, preventing pipe bursts, improving energy efficiency, and extending infrastructure life. Balancing flow and pressure, which are affected by factors like elevation and pipe integrity, is key to utility operations.

With infrastructure being such a hot topic these days, it is only fitting that industrial water treatment professionals take a second look at their own infrastructure. Here are some areas where new pressures from the impacts of climate change, population growth, or government regulations can benefit from improved filtration membrane technology approaches.

Across the country, communities rely on safe and reliable water systems to meet public health standards and sustain daily life. Whether it’s drinking water for homes or resources for emergency services, the quality of water stored in towers and reservoirs directly impacts countless people.

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?

Smart meters, sensors, and operational systems generate a constant stream of information about water flow, pressure, consumption, and system performance. But data alone doesn't solve problems — it's the ability to understand and act on this information that drives real operational improvements.

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.

Learn why data security, accessibility, and quality are all crucial to successfully managing wastewater infrastructure and sustaining data hygiene.
