Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. Speedy Repair Or Replacement Of Curb Boxes Damaged By Acidic Soil 9/16/2019

    For municipal waterworks supervisors, keeping curb boxes in good working order is critical.  But this job can become even more complicated by the prevalence of acidic soils across the U.S., which accelerates corrosion along with costly repair and replacement.

  2. Low-Fouling RO Tech Keeps Replacement Costs Down At Wastewater Reuse Plants 4/17/2020

    By using Toray's low-fouling polyamide composite membranes, the WTPs at the AMATA estates operated the RO systems for more than five years before requiring replacement of the RO elements. This low rate of replacement has considerably helped the end-user save operational and capital costs and is noted as one of the most successful wastewater reuse plants in Thailand.

  3. Precision Under Pressure: Engineering Custom Solutions For Pipe Emergencies 9/29/2025

    Emergency pipe repairs demand speed and accuracy. Custom engineered fittings ensure reliability in non-standard conditions, minimizing downtime, avoiding costly damage, and restoring service with precision and efficiency.

  4. Dangerous Waters In A Changing World 10/15/2019

    Americans and Canadians got a peek into the future when the City of Toledo shut its drinking water taps in 2014, issuing a do-not-drink order on the municipal water supplies serving 500,000 people. Levels of microcystin, a potent liver toxin produced by blue-green algae, were more than double the World Health Organization's safe limit. More than 700 square miles of the Lake Erie surface was covered by a harmful algal bloom (HAB), and drinking water plants couldn't remove the algal cells and the toxins they produced.

  5. V-Cone Differential-Pressure Meters: Accuracy To Go With The Flow 6/30/2019

    When space is tight and straight-run piping is at a premium, V-Cone differential pressure (DP) meters are an excellent choice — especially where the potential for turbulence raises metering accuracy issues with other conventional meter styles. This article describes how to satisfy some challenging water infrastructure applications with V-Cone meter accuracy at a low permanent pressure loss.

  6. Connecticut Water Utility Successfully Removes 45% Of Trihalomethanes (THMs) 12/21/2023

    While the addition of chlorine is one of the safest and most effective means for water disinfection, under certain circumstances chlorine in combination with naturally occurring organic compounds in water can lead to the formation of undesirable disinfection byproducts (DBPs).

  7. E-Coder® And R900® RF Help Data Go Deeper In Ventura County 8/21/2015

    The majority of the water in the city of Simi Valley, California, is provided by Ventura County Waterworks District 8, serving approximately 26,000 metered connections — 22,000 of which are now read by Neptune’s R900® System.

  8. The Unbottled Truth: Navigating The Tap v Bottled Debate 4/26/2024

    In this time of heightened environmental conscience and a collective push towards healthier living, the debate over bottled or tap water has evolved from a simple matter of preference to a complex discussion that touches on sustainability, health, and our daily choices.

  9. Dual Functioning Repair Coupling Makes For Easy On-The-Spot Change In Pipe Replacement 10/10/2024

    When there is a leak on a road, it is important to repair it in a short time to allow road traffic to be restored quickly. It is also important to dig as little as possible to limit the damage to the road and reduce the cost of restoration.

  10. Innovative Project In Virginia Changes Lens On Wastewater 10/16/2018

    In September of 2016, Ted Henifin took the first sip of water purified at a pilot treatment plant developed by HRSD (Hampton Roads Sanitation District). Now, the innovative water treatment program known as SWIFT — Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow — is changing the lens through which communities and government officials view wastewater, drinking water, aquifer replenishment, and even fighting sea level rise.
