• Billions Flow Into Water Treatment Plant Modernization Projects

  Water treatment facilities have become one of the fastest-growing segments of the public infrastructure marketplace as communities across America confront decades of deferred maintenance, increasingly stringent water-quality standards, population growth, and emerging contaminants.

• What Experience Taught Medford About AMI

  See how Medford, Massachusetts, used years of AMI experience to prioritize reliability, improve leak detection, enhance billing accuracy, and guide future infrastructure decisions.

• What 15 Years Of AMI Experience Has Taught Utilities

  Fifteen years after AMI adoption, utilities are redefining success by prioritizing proven reliability, trusted data, resilient networks, intuitive software, and long-term vendor partnerships.

• 900 Series Chemical Process Control Case Studies

  Learn how ECI consultants radically reduced costs and wastes while improving working conditions and ensuring compliance using 900 Series Monitor/Controllers.

• The Hidden Reagent Bill Buried In Your O&M Budget

  Small, recurring orders for chemical reagents, buffer solutions, and replacement membranes create an overlooked drain on utility operational budgets. Tallying these hidden expenses across an entire monitoring fleet reveals significant opportunities to eliminate unnecessary ongoing costs.

• Your Chlorine Analyzer's Sticker Price Is The Cheapest Thing About It

  Focusing solely on initial purchase costs masks the ongoing expenses of monitoring equipment. Accounting for recurring reagents, calibration labor, and maintenance reveals the true ten-year financial impact, guiding smarter long-term budgeting decisions for water utilities.

• America's Water Infrastructure Reckoning Has Arrived

  Local governments across the country are confronting a reality that can no longer be ignored: a significant portion of America’s water infrastructure has reached or exceeded its intended lifespan.

• How Water Infrastructure Can Drive Economic Growth

  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.
• AMI Adoption In Water Is Still Structurally Constrained

  Over the last two decades, utilities have increasingly viewed the transition from automated meter reading (AMR) to advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) as the next step in modernizing their operations. The benefits of moving toward a truly digital ecosystem are well-established, yet AMI continues to face a slow, asymmetric rollout in the water industry.
• Breaking Point: How Utilities Can Get Ahead Of The Water Main Crisis

  The water and wastewater industry is currently grappling with a significant aging pipeline infrastructure crisis, a challenge that requires a shift from reactive repairs to proactive, data-driven management. In a recent Water Online webinar, industry experts Christine Ballard (CDM Smith), Greg Baird (Black & Veatch), and Andrew Beck (Garney) outlined a practical framework for addressing infrastructure repairs in ways that are fundable and executable.
