• Study Reveals A Comprehensive Guide To IoT Integration For Non-Revenue Water Management

  A recent study argues that the traditional, manual approach to drinking-water distribution-network monitoring and leak prevention is no longer sustainable. Instead, utilities must embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) to transition from reactive repairs to proactive asset management.

• Tackling The Trillion-Gallon Problem: Water Loss Reduction Initiatives Benefit Utilities And Consumers Alike

  In the U.S. alone, 2.7 trillion gallons of water are lost to non-revenue water (NRW) every year, costing water utilities more than $6.4 billion annually in unrealized revenue. Given the scale of the issue — volumes and dollars — NRW presents an opportunity for upscaling utility management.

• Cost Transparency As A Driver for Operational Efficiency In Wastewater Treatment

  Many facilities can tell you their annual budget, and some can tell you what they spent on chemicals last month. However, far fewer can connect costs directly to daily operations. That gap is where cost transparency becomes powerful.

• The Power Of Choice: Why Vendor-Neutral MDM Is Essential For Water Utilities

  As smart water initiatives are embraced and AMI is deployed, the sheer volume of data generated by meters becomes both an incredible asset and a significant management task. This is where a robust Meter Data Management (MDM) system truly shines.

• How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Is Transforming Water Loss Management For Utilities

  AI is reshaping water loss management by turning complex utility data into clearer priorities, faster insights, and more proactive decision-making—without replacing the people responsible for running the system.

• 7 Common Pump Failures In Manufacturing Plants, And How To Prevent Them

  Water pumps are the quiet workhorses of manufacturing plants, as they support everything from cooling and boiler feed systems to handling wastewater and chemical processing. When water pumps run reliably, operations stay on schedule. However, when they fail, disruptions can quickly spread across an entire facility.
• How Strategic Asset Planning Solves Infrastructure's Toughest Challenge

  Modern infrastructure management requires moving from reactive repairs to data-driven capital planning. By quantifying risk and predictive failure patterns, utilities can justify essential funding and maximize the impact of every dollar spent on system-wide resilience.

• Recover Fast: Your Guide To Wastewater Treatment System Restoration

  The question isn’t if process upsets will happen — it’s when. Whether due to a sudden increase in capacity needs, regulatory pressures, equipment failures, wet weather or other seasonal fluctuations, it’s critical to return to compliance as soon as possible to avoid costly shutdowns.

• Making Unplanned Downtime A Myth: Why Water Utilities Should Move From Time-Based To Condition-Based Maintenance

  Many utilities still default to time-based maintenance, servicing equipment by the calendar or hours of operation of the equipment. It’s simple, but it often creates two expensive outcomes: over-maintenance and surprise failures. A smarter path is condition-based maintenance.
• A New Approach To Infrastructure Resiliency

  Extreme weather and seismic threats are driving a new collaborative approach to infrastructure. By aligning utility needs with academic research and manufacturing innovation, providers can validate resilient technologies and deploy data-backed solutions for long-term reliability.
