  1. Building AI Readiness In Wastewater Utilities: Lessons From CVWRF 5/5/2026
    Many utilities are asking a practical question: How do we move beyond hype and implement AI in a way that delivers measurable, sustainable value? At the Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility (CVWRF), the answer has been to focus less on tools and more on readiness.
  2. Applying Two Flood Models To Cross-Check And Improve Each Other — And Maybe Saving A Downstream Village In The Process 5/1/2026
    Getting a second opinion is a time-tested piece of wisdom. During a recent project for a municipal water supply utility, we found that this advice also applies to modeling the effects storms have on the municipality’s reservoirs and dams, and the potential flooding impacts downstream of the dams.
  3. Heavy Rain On Snow Is Testing Aging Dams Across Michigan And Wisconsin — This Is The Future In A Warming World 4/22/2026
    For much of Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as northern Illinois, 2026 has been the wettest March and April on record. The region’s aging water infrastructure was never designed for the volume of water it is facing. That’s a troubling sign for the future, with flooding becoming more common as global temperatures rise.
  4. When Growth Outpaces Infrastructure: How The City Of Conroe Built A Future-Forward Software-Defined Water System Ready For What's Next 4/20/2026
    For fast-growing cities, the challenge is no longer whether modernization is needed, but how to do it without increasing risk or complexity. The City of Conroe, Texas offers a clear example of what it looks like to modernize with intent, by addressing not just equipment, but the underlying architecture of water operations.
  5. AVT - 3,000 Homes Maintained Their Water Supply Thanks To R2M And The AVT EZ Valve 4/9/2026

    Protecting residential water access during emergency repairs is essential for municipal reliability. Advanced insertion technology creates permanent control points on live, pressurized lines, preventing large-scale service outages and boil-water advisories for thousands of residents.

  6. AVT - Vital Fire Suppression Line Remains Live While AVT EZ Valve® Is Installed 4/9/2026

    Critical safety systems must remain operational during repairs. Advanced insertion technology enables the installation of permanent valves on pressurized lines without service interruptions, preventing costly facility shutdowns while ensuring constant fire suppression readiness.

  7. GeoTree - Large Diameter Sewer Re-Built And Re-Lined 4/1/2026

    Trenchless rehabilitation provides a sustainable alternative to traditional excavation for failing sewer infrastructure. High-performance geopolymer liners offer structural restoration in highly corrosive environments, minimizing urban disruption while preventing environmental hazards through efficient, spray-applied application techniques.

  8. On-Line EZ Series Phosphorus Analyzer Allows Peace Of Mind And Prevents Permit Violations 3/27/2026

    Real-time nutrient monitoring allows wastewater facilities to detect industrial spikes and prevent permit violations. By utilizing automated, hourly sampling and dual-stream analysis, operators can optimize chemical dosing and maintain consistent effluent quality.

  9. Return Activated Sludge Pumps 3/27/2026

    Return activated sludge pumps are critical to wastewater treatment, maintaining biological balance, ensuring efficiency, and supporting resilient infrastructure amid aging systems and emerging contaminants.

  10. A Redefined Edge For Agentic AI: Converging Compute And Networking 3/19/2026
    Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase with agentic AI: autonomous systems that perceive, decide, act, and learn without constant human oversight, operating independently across distributed environments while collaborating with other agents in real time. This shift demands a fundamental rethinking of WAN infrastructure architecture.
