03.10.25 -- SCOTUS Rules Against EPA In Water Permitting Case

Monitoring raw water turbidity is important to inform the operator of significant changes in water quality, especially turbidity, allowing the operator to make process chemistry changes to respond to the increasing raw water turbidity. Variations in raw water present turbidity measurement challenges different from those found elsewhere in a typical treatment plant.

This article aims to help utilities and municipalities to better understand the start-up process and offer solutions to reduce the amount of water needed to get GAC filters online.

With U.S. EPA regulations setting PFAS limits in the low parts per trillion (ppt), GAC usage is surging, leading to increased operational costs and supply chain strain.

Increasing public awareness or even seeking legal action are potential tools to help municipalities gain control of the wipes problem. However, many agencies have seen that these strategies are not completely effective in the long term, and they must also employ new technologies to permanently deal with the wipes epidemic.

These equations and soil parameters are an effort to provide the piping system designer with conservative techniques and parameters for the design of underground restrained joint piping systems. 

Water utilities across the U.S. have made great strides in controlling water loss within their water distribution systems. However, more can be done to account for every last drop of water.

The U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) mandate the removal of all lead service lines within 10 years and lower the action level for lead in drinking water. But what does this mean for your water system? Join Water Online Live on March 25 for insights on LCRI requirements, enforcement challenges, funding options, and best practices for compliance.

The objective of this paper is to define the five steps required in a compressed air assessment. We will use a real-world example with system information from a magnetic materials manufacturer to clearly illustrate each step.

In this article, we explore how ozone technology helps reduce pharmaceutical residues in wastewater, ensuring safer water for both the environment and communities.

A WWTP located in Middlebury, Vermont, treats domestic and industrial waste received from a local dairy and a brewery. Its original treatment system consisted of a flow-through activated sludge process with primary clarifiers, anaerobic digesters, and a four-train rotating biological contactor system.

Read about a Balanced Scorecard Approach, which incorporates intangible benefits and helps articulate the benefits of SCADA and other automation projects. 

Turbidity monitoring is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of modern water quality management, crucial for detecting contaminants and ensuring safe drinking water. 

As water utilities face the challenges of sustainability, efficiency, and service quality, digital technology has become a necessity. The right tech can help deliver reliable service, optimize systems, and meet sustainability goals, but integrating the data streams these solutions generate can offer even greater gains — allowing utilities to move faster and achieve more powerful outcomes.
