INTRODUCTION Managing water age in distribution systems remains one of the most persistent challenges for municipal engineers. With the rising prevalence of chloramines and stricter regulations on Disinfection By-Products (DBPs), the “fill and forget” approach to distribution design is obsolete. Historically, manual flushing was the primary mitigation strategy, but rising labor costs and the need […]

Introduction In municipal and industrial fluid handling, the integrity of a pump station relies not just on the hydraulic mover, but on the monitoring and control loop that governs it. A surprising statistic in water utility management reveals that up to 30% of pump efficiency loss is masked by inaccurate discharge monitoring, leading to undetected […]

Introduction One of the most persistent challenges facing municipal engineers today is the accurate monitoring of Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) and stormwater systems under regulatory consent decrees. The engineering challenge is multifaceted: equipment must survive in harsh, rag-prone environments, operate reliably during rapid hydraulic changes, and provide data accurate enough to satisfy environmental agencies. A […]
