The U.S. EPA released its final drinking water report on the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) and Aliamanu Military Reservation (AMR) public water systems, which were impacted by the 2021 fuel release from the U.S. Navy-owned Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage facility in Honolulu.

A new study finds that commercial satellite imagery data often outperforms public data sets when identifying surface water, but that public data sets may be better at detecting water hidden by forest cover.

Xylem, the global leader in water treatment and transport technologies, introduces the YSI THM 1000, a new on-site analytical system that measures trihalomethane concentration at ppb levels in less than 30 minutes without tedious sample preparation. An EPA-regulated disinfection by-product, trihalomethanes, or THMs, are carcinogenic environmental pollutants that can occur in drinking water as a result of chemical reactions between naturally occurring organic material and chlorine added as a disinfectant. Drinking water treatment plants and water distribution facilities routinely monitor THMs.

Technical research commissioned by UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR) and conducted by the University of Sheffield has provided a breakthrough in understanding how and why cast iron pipes fail.

U.S. household water and sewer bills hit a five-year high in 2025, rising 5.1% and outpacing inflation, according to Bluefield Research, a leading provider of global water market data and insights. Bluefield’s annual U.S. Municipal Water & Sewer Rate Index benchmarks utilities in 50 cities nationwide and reveals a 24.2% cumulative five-year increase—highlighting mounting cost pressures on utilities and ratepayers alike.

The continuation of funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation catalyzes a 10-year effort to drive water innovation and economic growth
