UTILITY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

• Energy Optimization Plan For Water Networks

  Sustained energy savings in drinking water distribution and sanitation depend on a continuous, structured optimization process rather than isolated equipment fixes. Knowing where losses sit shapes how to prioritize them.

• Smart Irrigation: How Digital Tools Help Cities And Growers Save Water

  Fixed schedules and rigid controls waste water on farms and in city parks. Integrated data from sensors, forecasts, and satellites enable more responsive irrigation, though adoption faces real obstacles.

• WEFTEC 2026: A Good Time To Be Curious

  From AI adoption and data-center water demand to cybersecurity and workforce development, WEFTEC 2026 offered plenty to explore — and practical ideas to take home.

• After The Fire: What The 2026 Wildfires And El Niño Could Mean For U.S. Lakes And Reservoirs In 2027

  In July, smoke from Canadian wildfires spread across the upper Midwest and Northeast. Now a strengthening El Niño is set to influence the coming winter. Both events matter to lake and reservoir managers because their effects on water quality will continue to emerge long after the skies clear or the El Niño passes.

• Why UV-AOP Is Becoming A Cornerstone For Potable Reuse

  UV-AOP can provide a critical treatment barrier for potable reuse, while demonstration skids help utilities validate performance under site-specific conditions before committing to full-scale systems.

• The Time To Start LCRI Compliance Is Now

  The clock is ticking on Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) compliance, and waiting until 2027 is not an option. In this Water Online Live event overview, learn from industry experts Lauren Wasserstrom (Jacobs) and Kristin Epstein (CDM Smith) on how utilities can move from inventory development to action.

• The Knowledge Is Retiring: What UI/UX Can Bring To Water Treatment

  Better user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design can help water utilities preserve operator knowledge and bring new hires up to speed.

• Safeguarding Reliable Water Service In The Face Of Uncertainty

  Potential threats to clean drinking water may be formidable, but we’re not defenseless against them. Modern water systems and utilities protect water resources and ensure reliable service in the face of uncertainty with disciplined, data-driven asset management.

• Modernizing Pump Stations Without Compromising Cybersecurity

  Incremental digitalization can help wastewater teams reduce field workloads, improve system visibility, respond to disruptions, and modernize legacy infrastructure without a wholesale technology overhaul.

• Why Produced Water Treatment Is Becoming Critical For Sustainable Oil & Gas Operations

  Produced water is far from ordinary wastewater. It typically contains high concentrations of dissolved salts, residual hydrocarbons, suspended solids, heavy metals, chemical additives, and naturally occurring contaminants. Without proper treatment, managing these complex waste streams becomes both environmentally risky and financially burdensome.
