  1. Why Smart Valves Are About To Redefine Water Infrastructure 7/10/2026
    For years, water metering followed a predictable path: manual reads, AMR, AMI, more visibility, more data. But utilities are now entering a different operational reality. Visibility alone no longer protects infrastructure.
  2. The Resilient Utility: Why AI Is The New Social Safety Net For Water 7/10/2026
    For vulnerable communities, the cost of infrastructure fragility is not just financial; it is existential. By shifting our focus from "smart water" to "resilient water," we can use AI to build a social safety net that protects both our infrastructure and the communities that depend on it.
  3. SWAN Corner: From Compliance To Resilience — Practical Lessons In OT Recovery For Water Utilities 7/10/2026
    Water and wastewater utilities have become attractive targets for cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors. CISA has repeatedly warned that drinking water and wastewater systems are vulnerable because they often lack the resources and technical capacity to adopt rigorous cybersecurity practices. The question is no longer whether your utility will face a cyber incident, but when — and whether you will be ready.
  4. Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP): The Invisible Driver Of Biofouling In Water Systems 7/10/2026
    A growing body of scientific evidence points to transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) as one of the most important, but frequently overlooked, drivers of biofouling in water systems. Understanding TEP may provide a new perspective on why biofilms develop so rapidly, why some treatment systems foul despite acceptable microbial counts, and why conventional control strategies often struggle to deliver lasting results.
  5. Why Engineers Aren't Choosing Water Utilities (And What Utilities Can Do About It) 7/8/2026
    Attracting engineering talent remains one of the water industry's biggest workforce challenges. It isn't that there aren't enough engineers; it's that the water sector often undersells careers that already offer exactly what today's engineering candidates are looking for.
  6. From Study To Startup: Reliability Lessons From A CVWRF Headworks Project 7/8/2026
    Wastewater utilities invest significant time and resources in capital projects intended to improve reliability, capacity, safety, and long-term performance. The design may be sound, the equipment may be new, and the project may appear ready for service. Yet the true test often comes during startup.
