31. How Omaha Reduced Water Loss And Costs With Smart Hydrant Monitoring 3/5/2026

    Permanent acoustic sensors turn fire hydrants into a high-tech defense against water loss. By monitoring pipe sounds 24/7, utilities can identify and fix hidden leaks before they cause expensive, unplanned service disruptions or emergency flooding.

32. Satellite-Based Infrastructure Intelligence For Advanced Leak Detection Technology 3/5/2026

    Satellite-based radar technology allows water utilities to identify non-surfacing leaks that traditional methods often miss. By pinpointing underground moisture signatures, municipalities can significantly reduce non-revenue water and meet conservation goals through more efficient, data-driven field inspections.

33. Leak Detection Program For Roswell, New Mexico 3/2/2026

    Harnessing satellite intelligence allows utilities to pinpoint hidden underground leaks with precision. By focusing field crews on high-probability clusters, municipalities can drastically reduce water loss, optimize repair budgets, and prioritize critical infrastructure replacement projects.

34. Study Reveals A Comprehensive Guide To IoT Integration For Non-Revenue Water Management 2/18/2026
    A recent study argues that the traditional, manual approach to drinking-water distribution-network monitoring and leak prevention is no longer sustainable. Instead, utilities must embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) to transition from reactive repairs to proactive asset management.
35. Tackling The Trillion-Gallon Problem: Water Loss Reduction Initiatives Benefit Utilities And Consumers Alike 2/17/2026
    In the U.S. alone, 2.7 trillion gallons of water are lost to non-revenue water (NRW) every year, costing water utilities more than $6.4 billion annually in unrealized revenue. Given the scale of the issue — volumes and dollars — NRW presents an opportunity for upscaling utility management.
36. AMERICAN And Partners Install Boltless Restrained Underwater Pipeline System In Ashland, Wisconsin 2/6/2026

    Beneath the waters of Chequamegon Bay on Lake Superior in Ashland, Wisconsin, about 4,500 feet of 24-inch AMERICAN Flex-Ring Ductile Iron Pipe and a submerged timber crib intake structure were installed to ensure the city’s residents have quality drinking water for the next 100 years. The Ashland Water Intake Project began May 1, 2025, and is now complete.

    U.S. Pipe supplies 34 miles of 30-inch ductile iron pipe for Waukesha’s Lake Michigan water project, delivering reliable, high-pressure infrastructure for generations of residents.

38. How To Bring Quiet To Pump And Pipeline Systems 12/10/2025
    For modern pipelines and pumps, noise and vibration behavior must be considered in system design. Learn how a wastewater pumping station in Greifswald, Germany reduced pump-induced pressure fluctuations by 90%, accompanied by lower vibration levels in the discharge line, with an innovative AI-enhanced damping system.
39. Meeting Demand, Ensuring Compliance: A Success Story In Executing Fast-Paced Water System Improvements In Missouri City, Texas 12/9/2025

    Learn how the Mustang Bayou Service Area (MBSA) Water System Improvements project delivered a fast-tracked, multi-phase response to rapid development and critical capacity challenges in one of the Missouri City’s fastest-growing regions.

40. Metering as a Service Improves Jackson, MS, Water Infrastructure 12/8/2025
    The city of Jackson faced a water crisis that went beyond the tap. What began as an ambitious plan to modernize its water metering infrastructure in 2014 became a logistical and financial nightmare, costing the city millions in lost revenue and declining public trust. Metering as a Service (MaaS) offered the city an alternative option.
