41. How To Find Critical Pipe Bursts 11/6/2020

    While there are commonalities for the chief causes of burst pipes (i.e. frozen pipes, water pressure, corrosion, etc.), the impact of each pipe burst will vary depending on the burst size, duration, location, time of the day, and many other parameters.

42. Article: Water Utilities Slow To Embrace Smart Meter Technologies 12/8/2010
    Water utilities appear to be under water when it comes to conservation efforts and adopting new technologies to help customers monitor water usage. Although water is viewed as a precious resource around the globe, little is being done to save water in North America.
43. The Value Of Continuous Instrumentation To The Operator & Why Manufacturers Should Listen To Their Needs 7/2/2013

    When I began my career as a power plant chemist most continuous analyzers were trending devices at best.  Conductivity was the most reliable analyzer and the temperature compensation algorithms were marginal.  Sample conditioning with respect to sample temperature control was not very good as well.

44. Fort Benning Brings In The Big Guns: AMERICAN Zinc And American-Darling 12/1/2015

    Columbus Water Works (CWW) provides drinking water and wastewater services to more than 250,000 residents in the Columbus, GA, area. In 2004, Fort Benning and Columbus Water Works signed an agreement that said CWW would provide water and wastewater services for the military base for 50 years, requiring a connection of the two systems and several large upgrades.

45. Is Your Water System Trying to Tell You Something? 7/6/2020

    When something goes wrong, we often ask ourselves if there was some sort of sign that would have lessened the impact. Especially if you are in the business of providing water to people, you might wish you had a crystal ball to get in front of problems before they happen. While we can’t provide you with a crystal ball, we can help give some insight into what your water system may be telling you with the introduction of the AFC SEMPER Remote Pressure Monitor.

46. Full Article: Leak Detection And Prevention Programs — Yesterday And Today 7/3/2007

    From the early 1800’s, when water mains were made of wooden logs from hemlock or elm trees and joined together with bituminous pitch or tar at the joints, to current day versions made of cast iron, ductile iron, PVC, asbestos, cement, and pressurized concrete, all have had one thing in common: they leak. It is impossible to develop a water distribution system that will not leak because of factors such as pipe material, construction methods, soil conditions, external traffic loading changes, internal and external corrosion, and previous leaks. Water works personnel have known this fact since the first pipes were laid

47. Water District Solves Metering Problem: Non-Intrusive Ultrasonic Technology Provides Accurate Measurements 12/1/2014

    The Jacksonville JEA water district had a problem. Its measurements showed that it was distributing significantly more water than it was removing from its wells.

48. Water Quality: Critically Important To Countless Industries 9/6/2017

    To say that the world of water quality is diverse is an understatement of some magnitude. It’s much more than simply diverse. It’s downright complex. Whether your application is pool management, pharmaceutical manufacturing, maintenance of boilers or cooling towers, food production, brewing, printing, desalination, agriculture, aquaculture, wastewater management, or any one of a vast number of other industries, the quality of the water is a make-or-break critical characteristic that determines success or failure.

49. Fairlie District Deploy Noise Loggers In New Zealand 10/15/2021

    Installation was completed by Fairlie District Council, a rural water authority located in the central South Island of New Zealand. With a number of water supplies in the South Canterbury region, they required the latest digital noise correlation and signal coherence frequency analysis processing software. The Enigma solution was chosen to overcome challenges such as limited recoding and process capabilities.
