10.08.25 -- PFAS Filtration: Designing For Smaller OPEX And Footprint

When a water quality test came back positive for E. coli, Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District immediately implemented a series of daily flushing and chlorinating efforts with a boil water advisory in effect for 7 days that had people on edge for the upcoming Thanksgiving festivities.

Water utility leaders face unprecedented challenges, including water scarcity, growing populations, climate change, aging infrastructure, water-intensive industries, and ever-changing regulations.

With over 30 brands and decades of trusted ethical water management, Xylem combines sustainability leadership with proven technical expertise to transform these challenges into opportunities.

Whether you're managing a community system or a major metropolitan utility, Xylem’s advanced treatment technologies demonstrate that wastewater can be purified well beyond drinking water standards and reused safely and economically for both potable (direct and indirect) and non-potable purposes.

At Xylem, our goal is to be your trusted partner with proven water treatment and reuse solutions. From piloting to full-scale systems, our advanced treatment technologies make safe, cost-effective water treatment and reuse a reality.

Let’s solve water for a more resilient water future.

Peracetic acid (PAA) is begging to supplement or replace chlorine in some water and wastewater treatment applications, particularly where disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are a challenge.

Coastal water utilities are not the only ones that have to worry about salinity, as high concentrations of winter storm road treatments, gas drilling, and mining can also generate elevated salinity levels in surface water sources.

Discover how innovative vessel design can dramatically improve PFAS treatment efficiency—cutting costs, extending media life, and simplifying maintenance—while helping utilities stay ahead of tightening water quality regulations.
