02.22.26 -- Smart Antenna Technology For AMI

When several years of drought subsided and water restrictions were lifted for the City of Round Rock, TX, residents quickly returned to their pre-drought usage patterns — and as they watered their lawns, filled their pools, and used water the way they had before the drought, their monthly bills began to rise.

Small well sites face unique challenges in meeting new PFAS standards. Solutions emphasize simplicity and speed, with pre-rinsed vessel swaps and modular, packaged systems reducing downtime and complexity for resource-limited utilities.

High-resolution laser technology detects microscopic particles and subtle filtration breaches that traditional systems miss. By monitoring signal fluctuations and utilizing concentrated light sources, operators can achieve superior effluent accuracy and optimize filter run performance.

Despite electrocoagulation's demonstrated effectiveness, developing a reliable, low-maintenance reactor with sufficient water processing volume has proven to be a significant engineering challenge.

Learn how Hydra-Stop’s insertion valve provided new control points to mitigate future disruptions during a service line emergency.

When a new wastewater facility is being designed and built, the engineers, contractors, and plant operators look for the most effective and cutting-edge solution available at the time of the install. But while many circumstances can be foreseen and planned for, changing regulations and treatment environments can usurp plant designs, quickly make them obsolete.

Smart water management systems provide real-time data and insights, allowing for more efficient water usage, improved conservation, and better disaster preparedness.

In a bold move to modernize its wastewater treatment, Bowling Green, OH, installed the state’s first second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system — ThermAer — in 2004. The upgrade expanded the plant’s capacity from 6 to 10 MGD and replaced an inefficient, odor-prone coarse-bubble aeration system.

Chemical programs are essential components of wastewater treatment. Whether the goal is phosphorus removal, odor control, improved solids settling, or final polishing, chemicals often play a vital role in meeting permit limits and ensuring stable operations.

Modernizing water infrastructure requires robust digital systems to manage high-volume metering data. Centralizing this information enables precise leak detection, accurate water balancing, and proactive customer engagement, ultimately driving operational efficiency and long-term sustainability goals.

PFAS rules are shifting fast. Learn how utilities can futureproof treatment strategies with flexible designs, smart staging, and emerging technologies — avoiding stranded assets and staying ahead of tomorrow’s regulations.

In the U.S. alone, aging infrastructure causes water losses costing utilities an estimated $6.4 billion annually. But a breakthrough in satellite-based leak detection is changing the game, delivering unprecedented savings and operational efficiency. 

As part of Greece’s post-pandemic National Recovery and Resilience Plan, the government is prioritizing sustainable water and waste management alongside energy reform and digital modernization.

Time-based batch processing allows WWTPs to gain the benefits of new suspended growth technologies in a much smaller footprint.

Beneath the waters of Chequamegon Bay on Lake Superior in Ashland, Wisconsin, about 4,500 feet of 24-inch AMERICAN Flex-Ring Ductile Iron Pipe and a submerged timber crib intake structure were installed to ensure the city’s residents have quality drinking water for the next 100 years.

In this article, Lance Thibodeaux, division manager for the Terminal Island water reclamation division at LA Sanitation and Environment, describes Terminal Island’s industry leading water reuse program and its long-time partnership with Xylem.

BABA has transformed chemical metering system specifications from a technical choice into a regulatory requirement. This article examines how domestic content rules affect pumps, skids, and components — and why early planning, documentation, and manufacturer transparency now play a decisive role in project success.

Each day, operators and managers use SCADA systems, lab results, maintenance logs, and compliance records to make decisions. However, in many facilities, this information is stored in separate systems that don’t communicate well with each other.

U.S. Pipe supplies 34 miles of 30-inch ductile iron pipe for Waukesha’s Lake Michigan water project, delivering reliable, high-pressure infrastructure for generations of residents.

Having deployed cellular-based AMI with ultrasonic meters, EUD can more accurately monitor water consumption, see near-real-time leak alerts, and operate with greater efficiency and safely.
