01.30.26 -- New Study Confirms Huge And Growing Costs Of PFAS Pollution

Disinfection of drinking water can be accomplished in a number of ways using various disinfectants or combinations thereof. This white paper explores the various techniques and their history. 

Because many locations dealing with groundwater contamination generally have multiple micropollutants to remove, consulting engineers and water treatment plant managers are often put in a position to seek additional or alternative treatment approaches other than activated carbon or reverse osmosis.

For some water providers, carefree days of producing pure, fresh water from groundwater sources are long gone. Years of evolving chemical complexity, industrial operations, and short-sighted disposal methods have taken a toll on groundwater sources. Fortunately, new technologies are helping water providers make the best of a challenging situation across a wide range of contaminants.

In the remote Arctic village of Utqiaġvik, Alaska — where extreme winters and frozen terrain make traditional water system maintenance nearly impossible — the Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation (UIC) faced a critical threat: a persistent underground leak draining over 10,000 gallons of water per day.

Discover how Englewood, Colorado's Lead Reduction Program utilized Hydra-Stop's Insta-Valve technology to replace 3,000 lead service lines without service disruption, overcoming aging infrastructure challenges and ensuring consistent water supply.

Discover how keeping your pump in shape will help reduce costs and boost profits. 

Faced with persistent odor complaints and limited space, Douglas County Sewer District #1 in East Wenatchee, Washington, turned to the ThermAer second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system to modernize its biosolids treatment.

The Ecograph T RSG 30 data logger is used to monitor turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and pH and provide critical information to meet U.S. EPA standards.

Efficiency is the name of the game for modern wastewater treatment plants. Unfortunately, many facilities were built decades ago and are becoming increasingly expensive to operate. Therefore, you may be looking for a way to upgrade your wastewater treatment plant to meet the latest standards.

Here are some links and guidelines designed to help utilities change their perspective on water as a low-cost resource of virtually unlimited supply. 

Automated metering systems, or “smart meters”, can provide valuable data for electric and water utilities. Data analytics can be used to improve customer service, boost conservation, monitor the system, and even forecast demand. An ultimate goal might be to eventually monitor everything from streetlight intensity to fire hydrants.

Just as different water utilities use different processes for turning raw source water into potable drinking water, so too do they take different routes to account for, and bill for, their output. Here is an overview of a cellular-based approach to collecting and leveraging data from water distribution operations that can achieve the greatest business advantage.
