Birmingham Water Works Board (BWWB), Birmingham, Alabama has consistently achieved the rating of the number five water system in the United States for water quality. BWWB’s potable water distribution system (WDS) serves 600,000 people with a daily average use of 100 million gallons (378 million liters) of water, received from nearby lakes and rivers. The system includes 51 water storage tanks, nearly 4,000 miles (6,437 km) of pipe, over 13,000 fire hydrants and over 200,000 service connections.
Adam Festger, Market Manager, Drinking Water and Environmental Contaminant Treatment for TrojanUV, highlights some of advances in UV technology over the last few years including UV groundwater treatment, UV chemical contamination treatment and UV lamp efficiency.
EPA Test Methods 301 and 320 include statistical techniques for validating sampling methods in specific gas matrices. Several of these techniques were used to analyze extractive FTIR data collected at a municipal solid waste incinerator and to validate the method for hydrogen chloride (HCl) measurements. FTIR results for carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitric oxide (NO) were also compared to measurements recorded by the facility’s continuous emissions monitors (CEMs). Presented are discussions of the equipment, spectral analyses, and statistical comparisons of the various test methods. Submitted by MIDAC Corporation
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), enacted in 1974, is the main federal law that ensures the quality of Americans' drinking water. Under SDWA, EPA sets standards for drinking water quality and oversees the states, localities, and water suppliers who implement those standards. The law was amended in 1986 & 1996 requiring many actions to protect drinking water and its sources.

The Town of Cortland owns and operates a Public Water System to supply potable water to approximately 2,100 residents. Cortland selected Water Remediation Technology's (WRT) Z-88 Radium Removal Process as a possible cost effective solution for their radium problem. The purpose of this pilot study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatment process on high radium and gross alpha water, establish design parameters for the full scale systems, and meet regulatory piloting requirements.
Brian LaBelle, director of marketing for GF Piping Systems, sat down with Water Online Radio for this live interview from the show floor at WEFTEC 2011 in Los Angeles. LaBelle shares with the audience the genesis of the company, and how its product range has grown to accommodate every aspect of the water cycle.
Nearly 4.7 billion gallons of water were saved in 2013 alone through installation of Badger Meter water utility solutions.
This radium removal pilot study was conducted for Gilbert-Summit Rural Water District in Gilbert, South Carolina. The raw water source for this pilot study was taken prior to any treatment, or the addition of any chemicals, and therefore operated only when the well was operating. Water from the well is treated with blended phosphate, fluoride and chlorine before it enters the distribution system. Naturally occurring radionuclides in the Gilbert- Summit Water District’s raw water source exceed current Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL’s) for combined radium
To ensure treated water complied with the most stringent drinking water standards, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (State 2 DBPR), the City of Cambridge, MA, WTP decided to implement a robust multibarrier treatment solution.
