WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT RESOURCES

• Green Infrastructure: Gateway Into Sustainability For Cities

  Cities across the nation face severe challenges that pose a risk to the health of communities and their rivers. Unlike natural environments, the vast quantity of asphalt surfaces found in urban areas prevents rainfall from infiltrating into the ground. Creating green spaces within a city landscape allows rain easy access into the ground, decreasing the amount of stormwater runoff that enters our water sources.

• Advanced Analytics And Situational Awareness For Manufacturing Data

  Advanced analytics is a key innovation for digital transformation. While many industrial companies are rolling out pilots and enterprise analytics projects, it is important for users to understand the features and capabilities of the analytics offerings.

• EPA Partners With Cincy’s Cooper Creek Collaborative To Improve Water Quality

  As cities grow, meadows and forests become buildings and pavement — a change that can impact our streams, rivers, lakes, and groundwater, also known as urban hydrologic alteration. Most buildings and pavement are impervious surfaces, which means they cannot absorb rainwater. As water journeys across these surfaces to collection points, it can collect various contaminants, such as fertilizer, bacteria, motor oil, lawn chemicals, and pet waste.

• Xylem Engages In Award-Winning Rehab And Bypass Project With North Carolina Utility

  The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) in North Carolina engaged in a capital improvement project to help address their aging infrastructure.

• Flood Event Prompts Portable Back-Up Pump Solution For Potable Water Network

  The Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA) provides quality drinking water to the residents and communities of southwest Iowa. Included in its 4,000 miles of pipeline is a 16-mile, 12-inch line that runs from the city of Creston to Corning.

• Victor Valley Turns To Xylem To Recover From Mojave Desert Environmental Catastrophe

  During any given year, average rainfall in the Victor Valley of Southern California is approximately five inches. But 2010 wasn’t the average year.

• Xylem’s Bypass Enables Critical Upgrades For Aging Sewer Lines In Greenwich, Connecticut

  Greenwich, Connecticut, located in the tristate area immediately surrounding New York City, is a scenic New England town that is home to approximately 60,000 people.

• Xylem Provides Pumping & Control Equipment To Reduce Force Main Pressure

  HRSD, the regional wastewater treatment utility that serves 18 cities and counties in southeast Virginia, had been experiencing high-pressures in their Williamsburg area force main network during wet weather events. These high pressure events caused operational trouble and, on occasion, resulted in SSOs in the collection system.

• Historic Rains In Memphis Lead To Monumental Emergency Bypass

  Record rainfalls in Memphis, TN eroded the soil supporting a 96-inch sanitary sewer main, causing the line to fail. With nearly 40 million gallons per day (MGD) of raw sewage escaping into Cypress Creek, less than a mile from McKellar Lake and the Mississippi River, an emergency bypass was needed fast to facilitate the repair work on the 96” sewer main.

• Xylem Designs Permanent Backup Pump Solution To Prevent Another Overflow In Jonesborough

  In spring 2016, a significant rain event sent the Jonesborough Wastewater Department in Tennessee back to the drawing board.
