UTILITY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

• Beyond The CCR: How Consumers Are Finding Water Quality Information

  The Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) may remain the official source of drinking water information, but a growing number of consumers are learning about their water through search engines, maps, and third-party data platforms instead.

• Rethinking Digital Transformation: Connecting Data, People, And Tools For Better Decisions

  Digital transformation is reshaping the water sector. Utilities have access to more data than ever before, from work orders to inspection data and real-time monitoring information. The reality is that more data and technology alone do not improve asset management outcomes.

• How A Tiny Water Utility Pieced Together Millions In Infrastructure Funding

  While no major municipal water utility has ever claimed to be overfunded, it is much easier to cover the cost of large projects when it can be spread across hundreds of thousands of residents. But this is a stark contrast to the mathematical reality of smaller utilities like the Madison Community Services District (CSD). Its small size can make it difficult to attract the attention of those who control the purse strings for major projects.

• America's Water Crisis Is A Crisis Of Inaction

  A breakthrough in southwest Missouri shows what communities can accomplish when they stop postponing difficult infrastructure decisions.

• Pay Today Or Pay Tomorrow? Choosing The Right Clarifier Materials

  Submerged clarifier components force a trade between purchase price and long-term corrosion risk. Galvanized steel, coated steel, and stainless each carry different failure modes, maintenance burdens, and ownership costs.

• Reviving The Nashville Wharf: Transforming 1,500 Pile As A US South Coast Port

  Steel piles corroded below the waterline and mudline had to be restored without replacement, on a wharf still handling port traffic. Material selection became the central question.

• Florida City Rehabilitates More Than 1,600 Manholes

  Decades of microbial induced corrosion, repairs that failed to halt deterioration, and heavy traffic shaped a large manhole rehabilitation program, including how methods differed for the most severe structures.

• Installation Of AVT EZ Valves To Support New Water Line Connection

  Connecting a new line between two existing isolation valves, with no way to isolate the section, tested a district's options. A live-main insertion approach kept service running to existing customers.

• From Innovation To Proven Impact: How Flygt Concertor Is Redefining Wastewater Pumping With Results That Speak For Themselves

  Self-cleaning, adaptive submersible pumps are producing field-proven results in small and mid-size lift stations, from fewer clogs to shorter replacement lead times, with performance tied to a defined size range.

• SWAN Corner: What Does Resilience Really Look Like In A Water Utility?

  Ask a water utility what keeps them up at night and you'll usually hear two kinds of answers. There's the slow build — deteriorating infrastructure or underinvestment, for example — and then there are sudden impacts such as a main break or cyberattack. At the same time, utilities must balance competing needs among residents, industry, and the environment. These pressures often do not operate in isolation.
