Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. Precise Biogas Flow Measurement 4/25/2016

    As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas.

  2. UV, Ozone, Or Chlorine: Which Solution Is Best For Your Treatment Plant? 4/7/2026

    No single disinfection method does it all. Utilities are combining chlorine, UV, and ozone to build more effective, flexible treatment strategies for today’s water challenges.

  3. Lincoln Winwater Safeguards City Water Supply 1/10/2022

    The City of Papillion in Nebraska is home to around 20,000 residents who receive their water from two large water towers. These towers are fed by a pump station with the original pipeline infrastructure dictating that both towers needed to be filled simultaneously.

  4. How To Stop Water Loss And Secure Your Network 7/16/2025

    KROHNE’s PipePatrol uses advanced pressure wave analysis to detect and locate leaks in real time, helping water utilities reduce non-revenue water and improve network efficiency.

  5. Going Deep With Surge Analysis And Bubbling Up With Community Engagement 4/15/2024

    As a nonprofit membership-based organization, Davidson Water is entirely supported by the rates and fees paid by its member customers – no county taxes involved. Created over 50 years ago by enterprising businessmen who realized that this part of the popular Piedmont corridor of commerce and trade would not be able to host more business without reliable access to clean water, Davidson Water provides a stellar example of both water stewardship and a commitment to innovation.

  6. City Of San Diego Water Plant Switches From Chlorine Gas To On-Site Hypochlorite Generation To Reduce Risks, Improve Safety And Decrease Costs 4/16/2019

    With virtually no local water sources available for use, the City of San Diego relies on water from the Metropolitan Water District, which imports its water from the Colorado River and the California State Water Project. The two massive water projects bring water from other watersheds and regions hundreds of miles to the north and east.

  7. THM Removal System Successfully Removes Over 65% Of THM Species In Water Storage Tank At The End Of 60 Mile Transmission Line 7/16/2018

    In Canada and the western United States, long treated water transmission lines are frequently utilized to convey potable water to rural communities. These long transmission lines combined with chlorine for water disinfection can often create the requisite conditions for the formation of undesirable disinfection-byproducts (DBPs). One of the most common DBPs is a family of volatile compounds called Trihalomethanes (THMs) which are regulated in Canada to a level of 100 ppb (part-per-billion) annual average and in the US to a level of 80 ppb.

  8. All-Terrain Ductile Iron Pipe Delivers For Washington County, Utah 7/10/2020

    The Washington County Water Conservancy District was faced with the possibility of a severe water shortage and knew something had to be done. Explore how the solution they chose increased system efficiency and security, while also decreasing treatment and pumping costs. 

  9. Shifting Paradigms: How Proactive Strategies Are Revolutionizing Pipeline Management 9/4/2024

    Proactive pipeline maintenance helps utilities address limited resources and aging infrastructure while maximizing return on investment, improving service quality, and building stronger support from customers and stakeholders.

  10. A Combo Utility Benefits From AMI 10/19/2023

    The City of Dothan, AL, recently turned to Aclara for an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solution to support its 31,000 electric and 35,000 water meters. This case study details how the city implemented a single network solution that effectively collects water and electric meter readings and provides the information needed to enhance operations and customer service for city residents.
