• How Dekalb County Efficiently And Accurately Models Rain-Derived Inflow And Infiltration

  Taking into account the effects of stormwater runoff and water meter flow, Dekalb Watershed Management partnered with Jacobs Engineering to calibrate the wet weather flows in Dekalb County’s collection system model.

• Water Treatment Plant Data Management Improved With Opworks Web-Based Program

  The City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota recently updated its data management processes at the water treatment plant, with a goal of increased efficiency for everyone from operators to management. The Eden Prairie Water Treatment Plant draws from a groundwater supply to serve a population of 63,000 people, with a total of 18,000 water user connections. The plant primarily uses lime softening for treatment.   

• 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.

• Complying With The EPA's First Limits On Toxic 'Forever Chemicals' For Public Drinking Water

  Monitoring and reporting software helps utilities meet compliance requirements.

• Sounding The Alarm On Silent Noncompliance

  Water and wastewater utility operators work diligently to operate within strict guidelines, ensuring their facilities are producing the best drinking water and highest quality effluent possible. Despite all their efforts, however, it can be easy to fall outside of regulatory compliance without even being aware. The key to avoiding problems like these is to understand how silent noncompliance can happen and knowing when to raise a red flag.

• Automation 101: Open Loop Control

  There is no argument that automation can be very expensive and that we have a fiduciary responsibility to our clients to provide the most economical solution possible. Every output, every input, every facet of your automation design will cost you something. There are no free rides, not even for us. But in our zest for cost savings, in our endless quest to make bricks without straw, we can quite easily short change ourselves.
