Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. The "Design For Autonomous Net-Zero Water Buildings" Project Funded By NSF 8/24/2015

    The students at the University of Miami will know firsthand the importance of rethinking the way we handle wastewater and water with a Net-Zero water treatment system on site.   The project showed the viability and feasibility to take buildings off the water grid to provide water recycling and how it can be achieved without raising the cost of high quality water.

  2. Sensors Are The Missing Link For Legionella Control In Buildings And Hospitals 11/19/2025

    Traditional sensors are impractical for continuous hot water quality monitoring, creating a Legionella control gap. New sensor technology allows cost-effective, multi-parameter, no-waste, in-pipe monitoring for enhanced building safety.

  3. Tank Shark® Active Tank Mixing Proven To Be Superior To Dedicated Tank Inlet/Outlet Design 7/10/2018

    San Jose Water Company (SJWC) provides drinking water for over a million people in the greater San Jose Metropolitan region and is a recognized leader in drinking water treatment and distribution system water quality management. With over 90 water storage facilities in service, planned maintenance and rehabilitation of capital assets is a key component of SJWC’s CIP program.

  4. Preparing Your Valves For Winter With Proactive Maintenance 10/22/2024

    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.

  5. How Small Utilities Can Afford To Reap The Benefits Of Large District Metering Solutions 7/1/2020

    Water scarcity issues and increased production costs are putting more pressure than ever on small water utilities, which tend to rely on relatively few personnel to deliver a quality, affordable product to consumers. The good news is that proper flow metering technology and resulting data can help ensure that water quality and service in smaller communities remain on par with larger systems.

  6. Improved Flow Measurement Through Multiple In-Pipe Readings 5/9/2019

    A combination of water scarcity and the desire to provide exceptional service has driven water utility managers to be focused more than ever on acquiring accurate, real-time insight into their distribution systems. Operators face a natural hurdle, however, when using traditional center-line electromagnetic flow meters, which don’t account for velocities that vary across a pipe. Fortunately, a solution has emerged to address the issue.

  7. Compliance Monitoring Without The Lab Runs: The EPA Method 334.0 Math 7/17/2026

    Manual grab sampling for chlorine residual compliance burdens operators with excessive drive time and laboratory costs. Adopting continuous, certified online monitoring satisfies regulatory reporting requirements while freeing technical staff for higher-priority operational tasks.

  8. Plastic Flow Meters Reduce Weight, Space, Corrosion — Not Accuracy 10/11/2019

    There are a variety of reasons for wanting accurate flow metering — e.g., billing purposes, precise proportioning of chemical injections, and other process flow decisions. That is why highly accurate mag meters are so popular in many applications. Now, new lightweight, corrosion-resistant mag meters provide the same advantages as plastic piping for harsh environments and flows that cover all the bases…and acids.

  9. Removing Ammonia In Drinking Water With AccuFAS 5/16/2022

    Read on to learn how, utilizing its pilot reactor, Brentwood helped a mid-sized suburban community assess potential treatment of ammonia in the city’s potable water source.

  10. Paradise Regained: How Digital Twins Saved A Bahamian Resort's Water Supply 5/8/2026

    Island utilities face unique resource constraints and infrastructure risks. Implementing digital twins provides the real-time visibility needed to reduce water loss, simulate emergency scenarios, and optimize system performance to ensure long-term operational resilience.
