Webinar: From Meter Reader to Water Manager: A Utility's 20-Year Journey Into the Digital Age

What if meter reading is the least valuable thing your AMI investment can do? In this webinar, Klamath Falls shares how eight years of AMI implementation helped the utility reduce water loss, improve customer service, enhance safety, and make smarter decisions. Discover how utilities can move beyond billing and turn meter data into actionable intelligence. Click here to learn more.

FEATURED ARTICLES

A Non-Intrusive Solution For Measuring Wastewater Flow In A WWTP's Iron Pipes

A municipal association needed to understand if wastewater was being equally distributed across two cast iron pipes within its wastewater treatment plant. Learn how clamp-on ultrasonic measurement helped successfully measure the flow.  

Operando Studies Of Iodine Species In An Advanced Oxidative Water Treatment Reactor

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are emerging as a promising class of technologies for treatment of industrial and municipal waste streams for removal of recalcitrant contaminants including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, a key facet of wastewater treatment

How More Targeted Communications Took Park City's Backflow Compliance To 94%

Implementing a cloud-based backflow tracking platform enables certified testers to submit results directly online. Automated reminder schedules boost property owner compliance, eliminate paper filing, and grant water district managers real-time program oversight.

Adding A Control Point In A Busy Intersection Without Disruption

Discover how a municipal water department installed an 8-inch control valve at a busy intersection in one day, protecting a nearby gas main and maintaining continuous service to medical offices and a local school.

Proprietary Reactivation Study Demonstrates PFAS Removal And Destruction Expertise

Thermal reactivation of granular activated carbon is a proven and scalable method to achieve >99.9% destruction removal efficiency for PFAS. This process fully restores the carbon for reuse, providing a sustainable solution that breaks the cycle of "forever chemicals."

Why A Temporary Water Treatment System Might Be Your Best Investment

It is critical to understand the limitations of permanent installations and how a temporary water treatment system can make sound logistical and financial sense.

Complete Flow Solutions

Siemens’ extensive portfolio includes various flow measurement technologies, such as Coriolis, clamp-on ultrasonic, vortex, and differential pressure meters, catering to a wide range of industrial needs.

Preparing Your Valves For Winter With Proactive Maintenance

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.

Restrained Pipeline Design And Horizontal Bends

In the last 40 years, a quiet revolution has occurred in our industry. This revolution is the result of new generations of joint restraint products that make it possible to quickly and safely restrain fittings at bends, dead ends, tees, valves, and reducers without the need for concrete thrust blocks or tie rods.
