Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

31. Asset Management Through Leak Prediction: Analysis On The Impact Of Temperature Fluctuations 12/2/2020

    About 2.2 billion people worldwide do not have access to safely managed drinking water services. Climate change, pollution and population growth exacerbate this challenge, at a time when the coronavirus crisis has highlighted the pressing need to address supply issues.

32. Almost 400 AMERICAN Flow Control® Valves And Hydrants With ALPHA™ Restrained Joints Installed In Pennsylvania 3/20/2020

    What’s better than one AMERICAN Flow Control® valve or hydrant with an ALPHA™ restrained joint end? How about almost 400? The Houtzdale Municipal Authority is installing more than 300 resilient wedge gate valves with ALPHA restrained joint ends and almost 60 American-Darling® B-62-B fire hydrants with ALPHA bases as part of the water authority’s distribution replacement project. Work began June 2019 and is expected to be completed June 2020.

33. Insta-Valve 20-24 Eliminates Service Disruption To Connect Water To New Travel Center 4/21/2022

    The Insta-Valve 20-24 provided a targeted shutdown to expand and connect the water supply to a new travel facility.

34. How Advanced Pressure Monitoring Bolsters Risk Mitigation And Asset Management 9/8/2020

    Properly executing pressure management can attack pipeline failures on two fronts: by avoiding high pressures that exacerbate the problem and by providing the operational awareness needed for managing the most vulnerable spots. The insight provided by newer solutions helps accomplish this by going beyond advanced metering infrastructure as part of the building blocks for a smart utility network.

35. Drinking Water Treatment - Coquitlam Water Treatment Plant, British Columbia 11/7/2011

    In 2005, in response to changes to the Canadian Drinking Water Quality guidelines, the Greater Vancouver Water District Board approved a proposal to upgrade the Coquitlam WTP with UV treatment technology to act as the primary means of inactivation.

36. Village Blue Lake Pontchartrain Offers New Orleanians Insights Into Local Water Quality 8/4/2021

    Water quality monitoring can be a powerful tool to help inform policies and environmental restoration efforts, and to keep local water bodies healthy. EPA recently launched a water quality monitoring project in New Orleans that’s helping the community learn more about Lake Pontchartrain’s water quality and its greater connection to the Mississippi River.

37. Optimizing Leak Detection Using Virtual District Metering Areas (vDMAs) 5/1/2020

    Today, progressive utilities are using digital technologies to create virtual district metering areas (vDMAs), eliminating the limitations of the physical DMA by utilizing data to provide actionable insights into the condition of their networks.

38. Portable Parallel Analysis: Streamlining Distribution System Water Testing 3/6/2015

    A Water Quality Specialist used the Hach SL1000 Parallel Portable Analyzer (PPA) to test 6 parameters simultaneously – all within about 8 minutes.  Previously, the procedure took 20 minutes just for one parameter.

39. Project Profile: Lakeview Estates Community Durand, MI AD26 Arsenic, Iron & Manganese System 5/15/2009

    In August, 2007 AdEdge Technologies, Inc. was selected among other vendors by Tri-County Drilling to supply an arsenic, iron, and manganese treatment system for the Lakeview Estates MHP in Durand, Michigan. By Adedge Technologies Inc.

40. The Future Of Water Supply In Florida 3/6/2014

    A majority of water utilities in Florida have historically relied on groundwater for their drinking water supply. In 2010, Florida water utilities used 2.2 billion gallons per day (BGD) of freshwater for public water supply compared to a total of 6.3 BGD used. Groundwater represented 89% of the 2.2 BGD freshwater used for public water supply (USGS, 2013). Fresh groundwater sources at shallow depths have historically been available in abundance By Gerardus Schers, Philip Waller, and Michael Condran, MWH Global
