  1. 4 Ways To Unlock The Hidden Potential Of Water Utilities 8/30/2022

    Learn how water utilities can reach their full potential by becoming more resilient, transparent, efficient, and sustainable.

  2. How IoT Sensors Reduce Water Waste 9/9/2022

    To stretch water resources as scarcity intensifies, utilities and industry should lean on the latest sensing technology, enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT).

  3. The Value Of Conducting An M36 Water Audit 8/24/2018

    Despite my fascination with the adage, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result,” I still occasionally find myself — a creature of habit — falling into a pattern of repetitive unsuccessful behavior.

  4. Abilene “Phocus” On Their Non-Revenue Water Program 10/15/2021

    The State of Texas and the region around Abilene in particular has been experiencing an ongoing drought. Abilene takes the region’s need for adequate water supplies seriously and has been analyzing the short-term water needs (5-10years) as well as the long-term water needs (+50years) for its service area. The ongoing drought had pulled the three primary water supply reservoirs for the region down to extremely low levels. In the autumn of 2014: Lake OH Ivie was at 15% capacity; Hubbard Creek Reservoir was at 16% capacity; Lake Fort Phantom Hill was at 32% capacity.

  5. How A Combo Utility Benefits From AMI 9/21/2023

    With both water and power customers to serve, the City of Dothan, Alabama needed an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solution that could work as well with 35,000 water meters located in pits as it did with 31,000 electric meters wired to homes.

  6. Battery Operated Magmeter Provides Reliable Flow Rate Measurements In Remote Areas 4/27/2023

    A municipal water district had questioned the accuracy of their water meter readings and, after testing, they found that the billing amounts were too low. Discover the solution that they chose to provide reliable flow rate measurement. 

  7. Finding A More Affordable Migration Path To Net Zero Leakage 8/16/2021

    Whether decision-makers consider it ultimately attainable or not, there is something positive to be said about striving toward ‘net zero leakage’ in water distribution systems saddled with high non-revenue-water (NRW) losses. The key is taking affordable steps — like those described below — toward identifying and mitigating the most egregious water loss locations in a distribution system, based on readily accessible data.

  8. A Pathway To Keeping Pace With AMI Technology 3/16/2020

    The rise of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has been a substantial benefit to municipalities. AMI goes beyond billing data to provide deep insights into water distribution systems and offers utility managers an important tool in delivering the highest quality drinking water. However, that advancement has also generated a significant obstacle. The good news is that a cost-effective and flexible solution is available.

  9. How Today's Water Facilities Are Successfully Integrating Advanced Technology, Data Analytics, And Predictive Modeling 7/11/2024
    The water industry is seeing greater adoption of advanced technology, data analytics, and predictive modeling to enhance operational efficiency, improve equipment reliability, and ensure sustainability. These technology interventions need a concerted effort that considers people, processes, and technology to establish operational success after the planning phase.
  10. How Changing Weather Patterns Impact Water Main Leaks And Breaks 8/13/2024

    This blog aims to provide utility managers, policymakers, and the public with a detailed understanding of the current state of water main infrastructure and the environmental challenges faced in maintaining these systems.
