Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. Safety, Savings, Synergy: The Aquana-Itron Partnership Reshaping Utilities 5/24/2024

    In the ever-evolving realm of smart water solutions, Aquana's AquaFlex™  Actuator Valve (AVS) emerges as a transformative force, promising heightened operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness for water utilities. This American-designed and manufactured remote water shutoff valve, seamlessly integrated into Itron’s AMI network, is poised to reshape the landscape of utility operations.

  2. Chloramination Monitoring And Control 7/15/2015

    Since the EPA has established that, together with free chlorine, monochloramine is a primary disinfectant, it has been possible to implement the process more intensively. Water that is treated with monochloramine has, depending on the source of the water, fewer problems concerning taste and odor than water treated with free chlorine. In addition, the chemically more stable monochloramine remains longer in the water, thus allowing a long-term disinfecting effect.

  3. The Role Of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes In The Battle Against PFAS 12/4/2023

    As the global concern over per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination continues to escalate, innovative solutions are becoming increasingly pivotal in the pursuit of clean and safe water resources. The City of Rome Water and Sewer Division conducted a comprehensive pilot to identify a treatment process for removing PFAS from the water supply, including high recovery reverse osmosis technologies.

  4. 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.

  5. Have AMI? You're Halfway To A Business Case For Smart Infrastructure And IoT 10/20/2023

    Once utilities truly start leveraging that meter-to-cash investment called AMI, they will see they already have an IoT solution in place, and it comes with a built-in business case. 

  6. Indirect Potable Reuse With UV-Oxidation - Big Spring, Texas 12/12/2016

    In an effort to reduce reliance on dwindling surface and groundwater supplies in Texas, the Colorado River Municipal Water District constructed a new Raw Water Production Facility in Big Spring. 

  7. Case Study: Deuel Vocational Institution (DVI) ZLD Drinking Water Treatment System, Tracy, CA 12/6/2009

    A study was conducted by an environmental engineering firm to design a suitable treatment system for the groundwater currently used as the potable water supply for DVI. Reverse Osmosis (RO) was determined to be an effective technology in meeting the applicable standards for water quality.

  8. Project Profile: City of Aurora, Oregon 8/18/2011

    In late 2009, Water Works Engineers contacted AdEdge to design and implement an arsenic, iron and manganese removal system to serve the City of Aurora, Oregon. By AdEdge Technologies Inc.

  9. ECI Solves MRO's Chromium Contamination Problem With 900 Series Monitor/Controllers 2/16/2023

    Cr(VI) is a regulated contaminant in drinking water because it can cause gastrointestinal, liver, and developmental toxicity in humans when ingested. A facility was unable to discharge to their POTW because the CR(VI) concentration in their wastewater stream was over the regulated discharge limit. 

  10. Smyrna, GA, Gets Ahead Of Lead 4/3/2023

    Smyrna, GA saves millions of dollars and becomes the “poster child” of successful LCRR compliance.
