UTILITY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

• First Utility District Of Knox County Adds Pressure Monitoring, Builds Operational Confidence And Efficiency

  Undetected pressure surges leave water distribution networks vulnerable to costly pipe bursts and service disruptions. Utilizing high-resolution monitoring tools provides the real-time data needed to stabilize system hydraulics, extend infrastructure life, and optimize capital investments.

• Who Will Replace Your Best Operator?

  Utilities can refill a vacancy. They cannot rehire the judgment that kept a system stable at 2 a.m. The work now is to preserve that judgment without taking the operator out of command.

• 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.

• Aging In Place: How Acoustic Testing Is Reshaping AC Pipe Renewal Decisions

  Faced with aging water networks and limited capital, utilities can optimize infrastructure spending by moving away from age-based scheduling. Non-invasive structural assessments identify true asset degradation and hidden leaks, ensuring critical funding targets the highest-risk pipes.

• The Two-Sided Water Problem — What Process Manufacturers Are Missing On Both Ends Of The Line

  Process manufacturing represents an underexamined water-withdrawal category. Inside every one of these facilities, water is lost twice — once at the tap, and once at the drain — both losses driven by the same root cause and both solvable by the same intervention.

• Midyear Reality Check: How Accurate Have Our 2026 Water Predictions Been So Far?

  At the start of 2026, Kevin Westerling and I laid out a compelling roadmap on The Water Online Show, highlighting the trends we believed would shape the water and wastewater industry. Now, halfway through the year, I wanted to take a step back and evaluate how those predictions are playing out in the real world.

• 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.

• The Water Compliance Gap

  Paper-based water compliance systems force managers to spend up to 70 percent of their time on administration. Transitioning to automated workflows resolves communication gaps, improves compliance rates, and gives leadership comprehensive system visibility.
