  1. The Pros And Cons Of Pilot Testing For PFAS Removal 7/6/2026

    Deploying uncustomized equipment for contaminant testing can skew critical operational data. Discover how precisely tailored small-scale testing isolates site-specific variables, protects long-term maintenance budgets, and ensures seamless regulatory compliance for full-scale water treatment facilities.

  2. How Cedar Hills Turned Metering Data Into A Conservation Tool 7/2/2026

    As water scarcity increases, smart metering infrastructure bridges the gap between utilities and consumers. Providing residents with near real-time consumption data and automated leak alerts drives immediate conservation, slashing outdoor water waste while protecting critical resources.

  3. Water Quality Monitoring Systems Helping Utilities Deliver Safer Water 7/1/2026

    Safe drinking water has long been water utilities' core purpose. Today, however, that job is infinitely more complex. Climate change, infrastructure aging, industrial pollution, emerging contaminants, and more regulatory pressures require utilities to reassess every point at which they measure water quality in their treatment and distribution systems.

  4. How Risk Management Can Build More Resilient Utilities 6/30/2026
    From rapidly evolving cyber threats and extreme weather patterns to regulatory pressures and emerging contaminants, modern water and wastewater utilities are facing an unprecedented era of growing risks. To navigate these challenges, forward-thinking organizations are adopting structured risk assessment frameworks that support long-term resilience rather than reactive emergency response.
  5. Oak Park, Illinois: Turning Continuous Acoustic Data Into Measurable Water Savings 6/19/2026

    Aging underground infrastructure can cause severe, invisible non-revenue water losses. Implementing continuous acoustic loggers with AI-driven analytics isolates the precise signatures of subsurface leaks, allowing utilities to target hidden failures early and maximize capital efficiency.

  6. How Water Infrastructure Can Drive Economic Growth 6/18/2026
    The U.S. water and wastewater industry is standing at an awkward crossroads. For years, technical capabilities, federal funding, and a shared sense of industry urgency have all co-existed in a critical mass. However, the rollout of major infrastructure projects remains sluggish.
  7. 5 Takeaways To Prepare For Hurricane Season And Build More Resilient Communities 6/18/2026
    Stronger storms are exposing the limits of outdated infrastructure. From upgrading capacity to building stronger partnerships, here are five key lessons utilities can apply now to prepare for hurricane season and keep critical water systems running under pressure.
  8. The Easiest Way To Attack U.S. Water Systems Isn't What You Think 6/17/2026

    The latest warnings from U.S. intelligence agencies about escalating cyber activity from foreign-state-linked actors have become more pronounced and urgent in recent months. These attacks increasingly focused around local communities and the daily operational systems underpinning public health and safety, specifically regional critical infrastructure.

  9. Loudoun County Deploys Acoustic Leak Detection & Recoups Cost With Savings In NRW 6/17/2026

    Advanced acoustic sensors help growing utilities identify hidden leaks and prevent costly pipe bursts. By shifting from reactive to planned repairs, municipalities can significantly reduce non-revenue water loss and recoup technology investments through operational savings.
