02.21.25 -- Targeting PFAS In Drinking Water With Machine Learning

Here are some insights that can help water treatment plant (WTP) operators deal with their internal concerns about DBPs and residual chlorine or ammonia levels, as well as their external concerns about customer perceptions of water quality.

From the growth of contaminants of emerging concern — such as PFAS and 1,4-dioxane — to dwindling water supplies and tighter budgets for capital projects, the ability for municipalities and industry to generate clean, safe water has been a growing challenge across the country. 

Because groundwater accounts for upwards of 40% of the world’s drinking water, it is imperative that these areas are treated and the pollutants removed and converted into harmless products. This process is known as groundwater remediation.

Read about a trial for the City of Gold Coast designed to find a system that could sharpen leak detection capability with a small margin of error. 

As the cold weather sets in, water distribution and wastewater systems face increased stress, making it important to ensure critical components like valves are in peak condition.

Outdated specifications can sometimes lead to confusion regarding which gate valve should be used. Understanding how the standards have evolved and why can help utilities understand the source of this confusion. 

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

The community of Kinglake West was on a waiting list to receive government financing for a new sewer system when, in 2009, a disastrous fire swept through the area. The damage was so extensive that funding for a wastewater collection system was expedited. The new system needed to be up and running as soon as possible, without being an undue financial burden to homeowners.

In its quest to gain greater remote accessibility and increase ease of use, a progressive sewerage authority elected to think outside the traditional SCADA box.

Water utility systems that have transitioned to AMI benefit from increased revenue, reduced risk, improved customer relations, and widespread efficiencies across operations.

Read about the most effective ways for utilities to leverage digital solutions to drive intelligent water asset management and capital planning decisions. 

This guide will help you evaluate the top considerations when trying to select the right advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) network.
