1. Introduction In the complex hierarchy of municipal and industrial water and wastewater infrastructure, piping accessories—couplings, expansion joints, repair clamps, tapping sleeves, and restraint mechanisms—often receive less scrutiny than high-capital assets like pumps or membrane bioreactors. However, these components constitute the critical connective tissue of the entire conveyance system. They are the primary defense against […]

The authoritative resource for consulting engineers, utility managers, and municipal decision-makers tracking Kentucky’s wastewater infrastructure landscape. 1. Introduction Kentucky’s wastewater infrastructure represents a complex dichotomy between the advanced, high-capacity systems of the “Golden Triangle” (Louisville, Lexington, and Northern Kentucky) and the decentralized challenges of the Appalachian and rural western regions. The Commonwealth manages a robust […]
