WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• How Digital Twins Conceptualize The Water Industry

  The concept of digital twinning is explained, and the implications for water delineated, in this overview of one of digitalization’s greatest assets.

• White House Utility District Reduces Costs By Over $1 Million

  In 2007, White House Utility District (WHUD), a water utility serving approximately 90,000 consumers and businesses in Tennessee, faced a dilemma: how to meet a projected growing demand for water within the budget and capital constraints faced by municipal and mid-sized utilities everywhere.

• Pulse Burst Radar 'Levels' Competition For Chemical Waste Tank Process Control

  Our customer case studies illustrate how our proven level and flow controls are helping industry leaders improve the safety of their mission-critical applications. This recent case study demonstrates that pulse burst radar technology can provide a highly reliable level control solution for challenging process applications.

• Water Stewardship- Because Everyone Is A Water Manager

  Smart water technology has evolved the water utility’s role within municipalities to have a seat at the proverbial Smart City table, participate in the IoT plan, and drive water stewardship. There are many benefits to replacing your meter system with AMI (Advanced Meter Infrastructure) technology. For the utility, the game-changer is when you couple it with meter data management software which streamlines and prioritizes data so you can make timely, informed decisions.

• Efficiently Treating Wastewater And Increasing Opportunities For Your Systems

  Analytics and automation offer a pathway to time, labor, and energy savings while improving regulatory compliance, resiliency, and emergency response.

• Make Your SCADA Feel Young Again

  When the Village of Romeoville underwent a major upgrade to their SCADA system, they also decided to move to the latest version of the monitoring & control software that they had used successfully for many years. This version included features designed specifically for the water/wastewater industry. In this article, a former Head of the Water Department (*) explains why the utility continues to push for the latest HMI version and how this helps them overcome many of the issues related to maintaining a long-running SCADA system.

• SCADA Cybersecurity: What Every Water Utility Should Do Now To Prevent An Attack

  Danger isn’t always obvious. Often the worst threats are the ones that go undetected— until they strike. 

• Set For The Future—San Juan Water Implements Esri's ArcGIS Utility Network And Cityworks Computer Maintenance Management System

  San Juan Water District (SJWD) has used ArcGIS Utility Network as a foundation for the organization's computer maintenance management system (CMMS) implementation, which uses Cityworks. The Utility Network and the CMMS work from one centralized database for water distribution. The field crews can access the latest information and use the networking analysis capabilities for outage events via tablets in the field or a web browser in the office. The integration of these systems has improved reporting and inspection workflows while providing a single, authoritative source of truth. 

• A Comprehensive Software Tool For Assessing Risk At Wastewater Treatment Plants

  Understanding risk is the first step to combating system failure and protecting the public and the environment from unsafe water.

• SWAN Corner: Wet Weather Measurement Means More Than Scratching The Surface

  Wet weather is a continuous concern for wastewater utilities. Rain-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) challenges the collection system capacity. It can potentially result in overflows in the collection system and even the wastewater recovery facility (WRF) in extreme cases. These overflows can threaten public health and the environment. Additionally, higher flow volumes associated with wet weather will increase operating costs at the WRF.
