  1. Getting A Jump On Pump Maintenance To Reduce Costs And Improve Resilience 1/17/2023

    To improve pump maintenance and service to 418,000 in and around Wellington, Wellington Water trialed Info360 Insight from Autodesk as part of a solution with Stantec.

  2. How To Cost-Effectively Increase Pumping Station Capacity 1/17/2023

    Early detection of leaks can preserve pumping station capacity. Full-profile insertion (FPI) mag meters can be installed near valves and bends, making them ideal for pumping stations.

  3. Albuquerque Water Utility Eases The Pressure On System Performance With Xylem Technology 1/10/2023

    Explore how the Sensus Pressure Profile Software Application saved time and resources for an Albuquerque Water Utility. 

  4. Henry County Water Authority Ensures Water Distribution Keeps Up With Increasing Demand From A Growing Population 12/19/2022

    To address the growing population and projected water demand over the next 30 Years, the Henry County Water Authority recently completed a master plan update that includes two booster pump stations – the Fairview booster pump station and the Southeastern booster pump station.

  5. Why Your Water Utility Should Be Using Hydraulic Modeling 9/13/2022

    Hydraulic modeling offers a vast range of benefits such as improving system performance, long-term infrastructure planning, predicting and anticipating demographic changes, and more.

  6. Energy-Saving In Water Systems: The Key To Cutting Costs And Achieving Net Zero 7/15/2022

    Many of us are lucky enough to be able to turn on a tap and have clean water start flowing. Behind this, and all sorts of other domestic, business, and industrial applications that enable our modern world, utilities must move and process incredible volumes of water. Moving this much water is extremely energy-intensive. Experts estimate that around 4% of total global energy production goes toward water and wastewater processing. That’s approximately equivalent to the total energy use of Australia.

  7. New Pumping Station In Washington Provides Continuous Water Service 4/29/2022

    Times have changed in Washington state’s Skagit County, perched just 25 miles south of the Canadian border. Skagit County, which extends across 1,920 square miles, maintains one of the largest and most diverse agricultural communities west of the Cascade mountain range. Over 90 different crops are grown in this fertile valley, including blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, tulips, daffodils, pickling cucumbers, and specialty potatoes.

  8. Save Time, Energy, And Cost With A Well Clean-Out 2/14/2022

    The growing water scarcity in the western United States has led to an increased dependency on groundwater from wells. With regulatory pressure on groundwater, such as California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), and the increased cost associated with the energy required to extract water, it is a good time to discuss the efficiency of wells.

  9. Pumping And Performance Analytics: A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned 11/5/2021

    Pump performance analytics are just as important as having properly maintained pumps for saving money through optimized treatment plant and distribution system operations. Discover how one utility is using real-time analytics to manage in-plant operations as well as the long-distance relationship between its remote water treatment facility and city distribution system.

  10. Hurricane Sandy Emergency Floodwater Drainage 8/13/2021

    The devastating impact of Hurricane Sandy on New York City and the Northeast U.S. surprised some, but the people at Xylem were not among them. Xylem’s dedicated water professionals stood ready to fight the surging seawaters and torrential rainfall that threatened thousands of homes and commercial properties in Sandy’s path.
