• Making Computer Systems Go, To Bring You The Flow

  Behind the scenes with Denver Water's industrial controls team that helps send water to the tap.
• Radioactive Iodine In Wastewater Treatment Plants

  Radioactive material in the environment often causes public concern or even panic. However, it is very common for wastewater treatment plants to have some radioactive material passing through the system. Radioactive material may occur naturally or through nuclear fission. Iodine-127 and Iodine-131 are the most common Iodine isotopes found in municipal biosolids, because it has a tendency to re-concentrate in the waste stream_. This article will further explain the basic background of radioactive Iodine, its use, health risks, and its presence in the wastewater treatment plant.

  From remote mountain locations to urban networks, how IT helps keep Denver Water's system running.
• 7 Ways Smart Meters Save Water

  In an era of drought and conservation, smart meters can be utilities’ best allies in the fight to preserve water supplies.

• Town Of Castle Rock, CO Reduces Water Age By 35% Through Desktop Operational Optimization Study

  Castle Rock Water teamed with Optimatics to consider whether modifying the operation of the Castle Rock water distribution network could improve water age across the system. The purpose of the Castle Rock optimization study was to assess system operations and determine whether changes to the way the system is operated could reduce water age across the system, particularly in some problematic storage tanks. Water age is a concern for many water utilities since it is a major factor in the deterioration of water quality in distribution systems.

• What Benefits Do Variable Frequency Drives Offer For Pump Control?

  People working with water infrastructure or handling other industrial needs may choose variable frequency drives (VFDs) for better pump control options. This approach relies on a component that alters the frequency and voltage received by the pump motor, thereby changing its speed and torque. Here are some of the benefits of VFDs.

• Strategies For Enhancing pH Control Systems In Wastewater Treatment

  Managing pH in wastewater treatment is a crucial undertaking for water utilities. Solid contaminants often receive more attention, as they're more obvious threats, but sub-optimal pH levels can be dangerous, too.
• 5 Innovations In Cyber-Water

  Just because water has been around since before the Stone Age doesn’t mean it’s immune to evolution. Here are five ways that water is getting swept up in the future.

• Pollution Early-Warning Technology Chosen By Anglian Water

  Anglian Water has become the first utility to adopt new cloud-based technology to detect rising main sewer bursts. The UK utility is implementing early-warning system BurstDetect, as part of its drive to eliminate serious pollution events in its region by 2025.

• Smart Water/Wastewater Technologies Require Comprehensive Wireless M2M Communications

  Organizations with geographically dispersed assets, such as those in the water/wastewater utility industries, are continuously developing and implementing new ways to monitor and control all aspects of their business.
