  2. Design Smarter, Operate Cheaper: The New Lifecycle Mindset For Pump And Lift Stations 5/27/2025

    Part 5 of the Get Pumped Up series brings it all together with a bold but practical shift: treating pump and lift station design as a living process, not a one-time deliverable.

  3. Leeton Shire Improves Efficiency And Service Levels With An Affordable, Intuitive Digital Solution 5/27/2025

    Although Leeton Shire already had some digital technologies in place, such as SCADA, GIS and AMI, they lacked hydraulic modeling capabilities and expertise — which is why they turned to Qatium’s open and secure water management platform.

  4. The Pump Curve Doesn't Lie: What SCADA Data Reveals About Real-World Performance 5/27/2025

    In Part 4 of the Get Pumped Up series, the focus shifts from planning to performance—with a clear message: pump inefficiencies aren’t always due to failure, but to how (and where) pumps are operating.

  5. How To Right-Size Your Lift Station Without The 6-Month Wait 5/27/2025

    In Part 3 of the Get Pumped Up series, the spotlight is on speed: how utilities can identify and solve lift station inefficiencies without waiting six months for a redesign study.

  6. Forget 25-Year Master Plans: It's Time To Rethink Capital Planning For Pump And Lift Stations 5/27/2025

    In Part 2 of the Get Pumped Up series, explore the hidden flaw in traditional infrastructure planning: it’s too slow for today’s dynamic conditions.

  7. There's A Way To Solve The Cybersecurity Problem In Water 5/26/2025

    The water sector needs to embrace a cloud-based approach to cybersecurity that includes continuous monitoring and rapid incident response, all of which offers layered resilience beyond the “air gap.”

  8. Bridging The Gap: Bringing Agile Innovation To The Water Sector 5/8/2025
    As utilities face rising challenges, the need for digital tools has never been clearer. Yet our approach to building and implementing technology often clashes with how digital solutions are actually developed. To meet the moment, we need to rethink not just what tools we use, but how we partner to build them.
