Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. Constructing A Winding Box Culvert Channel In A Steep, Rocky Canyon 4/3/2014

    Special precast box culverts were used for one of the most significant segments of the $25.8 million emergency water restoration project, designated by the NRCS, known as the Cache Water Restoration Project (CWRP). The CWRP project involved the reconstruction and improvement of approximately six miles of mostly open, unlined channels that make up the Logan and Northern, as well as the Hyde Park and Smithfield canals. The project incorporated new precast pipeline, box culverts, a section of pressurized pipe, metering systems, turn-outs, head gates, and improved maintenance access.

  2. Specifying Performance Over Equipment Quickly Reduces THMs In The Colorado Springs' Distribution System 12/21/2023

    Colorado Springs, Colorado, enjoys some of the highest quality drinking water in the country, with most of its water coming from high country snowmelt. Despite its pristine origin in the mountains, the water at the far end of the distribution system is prone to developing trihalomethanes (THMs) due to low turnover and high water age.

  3. The Importance Of pH Levels In Water Treatment 9/12/2023

    Recognizing pH's pervasive influence empowers operators to achieve consistent and reliable outcomes in every facet of water and wastewater treatment, underlining its indispensability for clean and safe water systems.

  4. 5 Ways To Ensure Your AMI Transition Is A Success 5/29/2025

    While AMI’s benefits are widely recognized, implementation remains a major challenge for many utilities. This article offers practical insights into navigating the complex path to AMI deployment.

  5. Leakage Management: Meeting The Challenge 9/30/2021

    Anglian Water has reduced leakage by 20% since 2010 and has committed to a further 23% reduction by 2025. Overwhelmingly, customers have told Anglian Water that leakage is a high priority and that they want to see it reduced to well below the Economic Level of Leakage (ELL).

    The aim was to develop, own and utilize a system that enables cost-effective, smart, real-time leakage monitoring at an individual asset level for Anglian Water's entire network. The team was faced with a multitude of challenging conditions; the sites consisted of a large range of materials, including but not limited to Cast Iron, Ductile Iron, Asbestos Cement, MDPE, and PVC.

    Learn how Hydra-Stop’s insertion valve provided new control points to mitigate future disruptions during a service line emergency.

  7. Evaluation Of Ceraflow-50 As A Filtration Media For Hexavalent Chromium Treatment 6/1/2018

    Pilot testing was conducted to evaluate the relative performance of 4 filter media, including Ceraflow-50, as part of a reduction coagulation filtration (RCF) treatment process for the removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from groundwater. This evaluation was conducted at multiple well sites for a water utility in California.

  8. Pipeline Management Through Measurement 7/3/2023

    Pressure transients can be reduced through changes in pump operations and valve usage. Intelligent pipeline monitoring, combining pressure data with analytics, helps utilities prevent problems and educate operators and customers.

  9. 4 Key Water Themes Predicted To Shape 2015 11/17/2014

    When considering the current state of the water and wastewater industry, water metering is an important part of the conversation.

  10. Disinfection Technologies: How Do You Make the Right Choice? 6/4/2024

    The right disinfection technology is crucial for meeting regulatory standards and ensuring safety. This article compares the pros and cons of chlorine, peracetic acid (PAA), ozone, and UV disinfection.
