  1. Applying Two Flood Models To Cross-Check And Improve Each Other — And Maybe Saving A Downstream Village In The Process 5/1/2026
    Getting a second opinion is a time-tested piece of wisdom. During a recent project for a municipal water supply utility, we found that this advice also applies to modeling the effects storms have on the municipality’s reservoirs and dams, and the potential flooding impacts downstream of the dams.
  2. How Satellite IoT Can Enhance Remote Water System Monitoring 5/1/2026
    There is a noticeable shift in how monitoring data is being treated across the water sector. It is no longer something that sits quietly in the background of operations, collected for compliance, and reviewed periodically. It is being examined more closely, and more often, by a wider set of stakeholders.

    Purolite Purofine PFA694E is a polystyrenic gel ion exchange resin designed for potable water treatment, featuring a complex amino functional group optimized for PFAS removal applications.

  4. The Hidden Legionella Risk In Closed-Loop Systems 4/27/2026
    For a long time, it’s been assumed that closed-loop water systems — those commonly found in building heating systems, air-conditioning units, and cooling systems — are at a low risk for Legionella. However, there are many reasons why closed-loop systems can actually inadvertently promote the risk of Legionella.
  5. Sample Manager: Water Quality Compliance Software 4/27/2026

    Did you know that 75% of U.S. drinking water violations are due to missed or late samples? For most utilities, this has nothing to do with the quality of water, but rather a lack of the right tools.

    Built for utilities of every size, Sample Manager takes the burden of tracking off your plate so your team can focus on other higher priority projects.

    How It Works

    Sample Manager centralizes monitoring requirements, schedules, tasks, and results in a single platform. Rather than relying on teams to manually cross-reference regulatory updates, it syncs automatically with regulatory databases every day — so when requirements change or your results are updated, your schedules change with them. 

    The platform also connects directly with labs, which means your results flow in without manual data entry. From collection to compliance, the entire workflow lives in one place.

    Know Where You Stand at Any Moment

    One of the biggest pain points in water quality compliance is simply not knowing what's due, what's done, and what's overdue until it's too late. Sample Manager addresses this with dashboards, task views, maps, and timeline displays that give operators a clear picture of their compliance status at a glance.

    Need to get ahead of an audit? Full documentation for every requirement and every action is always on hand, making audit prep a matter of pulling a report rather than reconstructing a paper trail.

    Built for Teams, Not Just Individuals

    Compliance isn't a solo effort. Sample Manager lets teams:

    • Create and assign tasks in bulk
    • Balance workloads
    • Stay aligned across stakeholders

    Whether you're coordinating a small crew at a rural system or managing compliance across multiple jurisdictions, the platform scales with you.

    Built For Systems Of Any Size

    Sample Manager is designed to fit utilities of every size. It works within your existing workflow rather than forcing you to overhaul it.

    The core benefits are straightforward:

    • Save time by automating repetitive scheduling and reporting tasks
    • Reduce risk by minimizing missed samples and late submissions
    • Simplify reporting with export-ready formats built for state deadlines
    • Improve coordination by keeping teams aligned on tasks and timelines

    The Bottom Line

    When the technology handles the tracking, operators can focus on other high priority tasks.

    If your team is manually managing your sampling operations, it's worth taking a closer look at what our solution can do.

  6. Asset Compliance Software 4/27/2026

    Your compliance program deserves a system built for it

    Aging infrastructure. Evolving regulations. Mounting reporting requirements. Water utilities are managing it all, but often using the same resources they've always had.

    The tools haven't kept up with the regulations

    Every new compliance requirement means another inventory to maintain, another dataset to verify, and another report to submit. Finding your data across multiple spreadsheets, GIS exports, and field notes is the information utilities need to prove compliance, but finding it under deadline pressure isn't a sustainable way to operate.

    120Water’s Asset Compliance solution offers a system built for data maintenance.

    One connected system for infrastructure compliance

    120Water's Asset Compliance solution gives utilities a single platform to:

    • Track regulated assets
    • Verify field data
    • Manage communications
    • Plan replacements
    • Generate compliance reporting

    With comprehensive data, your team can run an entire compliance program from one place.

    Ready to get ahead of compliance?

    Utilities across 48 states are using 120Water to stay organized, audit-ready, and prepared for new regulations. Whether you're just beginning your lead service line inventory or working to identify remaining unknowns, 120Water’s Asset Compliance solution gives your team a system built for the job.

    This portable water analysis instrument is designed to be extremely accurate, fast and simple to use in diverse water quality applications. 

  8. Common AMI Implementation Mistakes And How To Avoid Them 4/23/2026

    The journey from manual water-meter reads to a fully integrated digital ecosystem is long and complex. To help utilities along, the Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN) released the global Smart Metering Playbook, which includes both implementation best practices and common pitfalls. Here are five common advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) rollout mistakes from the Playbook, along with examples of how to overcome them.

  9. Heavy Rain On Snow Is Testing Aging Dams Across Michigan And Wisconsin — This Is The Future In A Warming World 4/22/2026
    For much of Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as northern Illinois, 2026 has been the wettest March and April on record. The region’s aging water infrastructure was never designed for the volume of water it is facing. That’s a troubling sign for the future, with flooding becoming more common as global temperatures rise.
  10. Beyond Clarification: Optimizing Polyacrylamide Selection For High-Complexity Industrial Wastewater Treatment 4/21/2026
    Polyacrylamide (PAM) selection in industrial wastewater treatment is frequently reduced to a trial-and-error exercise, resulting in reagent waste, inconsistent effluent quality, and inflated operating costs. This article presents a structured framework for PAM optimization across three critical variables — ionic charge density, molecular weight, and coagulant synergy.
