  1. SWAN Corner: How Artificial Intelligence Can Mitigate Water Workforce Issues 8/9/2021

    The loss of expert know-how, already a problem for years, has been made worse due to the pandemic. A network of expertise, optimized by artificial intelligence, may be the way to get ahead of the problem.

  2. Efficient Blower Selection At WWTPs 2/25/2022

    In general, the term blower is a machine used for moving gas with a moderate increase of pressure, but it is easier to answer the question if we compare the fan, blower, and compressor. An air compressor has a high pressure-to-volume ratio, whereas an air blower has a low pressure-to-volume ratio.

  3. The Growing List Of LCRR Commonly Asked Questions 5/23/2022

    The Lead & Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) has prompted many questions. Each week, Trinnex will feature a new question and will add it here to create a library of the most commonly asked questions.

  4. HRSD Gains New Operational Awareness To Improve Wastewater Operations 6/25/2021

    In southeastern Virginia, Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) handles wastewater treatment for 1.7 million people in 20 cities and counties. Sea-level rise, unusually high tides, and extreme storms prompted a $1.2 billion program—the Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow (SWIFT) that involves replenishing the Potomac aquifer with up to 100 million gallons of SWIFT Water (water treated to meet drinking water standards and matched to the existing groundwater chemistry in the aquifer) per day, an action that may slow or reduce the impact of sea level rise by slowing land settling, or subsidence.

  5. SWAN Corner: Optimizing Data Intelligence Helps Orlando Protect Its Citizens During Heavy Rain Events 7/2/2021

    The City of Orlando Streets and Stormwater Division is responsible for maintaining and improving drainage facilities to prevent flooding and ensure all receiving water bodies meet state and federal water quality standards. They oversee upwards of 100 lakes within the City and approximately 147 drainage wells with 70 monitoring stations for lakes and waterways, and have 23 rainfall stations collecting data by telemetry over a cellular network. The Streets and Stormwater Division keeps two million people safe from flooding during heavy summer rainfalls and periodic tropical events. 

  6. Modernize Your Mobile Operation 4/23/2014

    The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati’s Wastewater Collection Division manages 3,000 miles of main sewer line and services some 200,000 individual customer sewer laterals and accounts that cover nearly 1 million residents and businesses.

  7. Top 10 Customer Touchpoints 11/25/2020

    Cities must gain the buy-in and support from the public and elected officials to secure necessary funding for smart water tech. Optimizing the initial costs of deploying smart water tech are going to vary, mainly depending on the size of the utility. Buy-in and support will only occur when utilities effectively make people understand, what’s in it for the customer. Water utilities need to communicate the value of AMI through the lens of what matters most to the end user—your customer, the consumer of your product, the ratepayer.
