  6. 6 Steps To Improving Energy Efficiency In Water And Wastewater Operations 5/7/2024
    Water and wastewater utilities account for nearly 4% of the world's energy consumption. With emissions targets looming and pressures building around water tariffs that frequently fall short of covering costs, there's an urgent need to reduce energy usage. This means tackling inefficient processes, such as mechanical flow control and the use of oversized equipment.
  7. 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. When things go wrong with those pipes, the division hears about it from customers loud and clear.

  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.
  9. SWAN Corner: Creating And Implementing A Smart Industrial Monitoring Network And Advanced Data Analytics At The City of Memphis 9/2/2021

    The City of Memphis teamed with Brown and Caldwell to pilot a smart sensor network where water-quality monitors could be installed directly at permitted discharge points for five of the largest industrial users. The pilot project also served as a proof-of-concept project for the City to assess the feasibility of making a paradigm shift to digital water-quality monitoring as a long-term solution.

  10. Drainage System Servicing The Western Suburbs Of Paris Predicts 14% Reduction In CSOs

    Optimatics teamed with SUEZ SEVESC, to reduce the frequency and severity of combined sewer overflow (CSO) events in Western Paris. This optimization effort focused on determining optimal modifications to existing CSO control structures, in order to reduce CSOs across the western Paris network. The investigation focused on low cost intervention options.
