Who Pays for PFAS Contamination?
Many parts of the U.S. have recently seen increased testing and regulation of groundwater contaminated with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), other per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or similar chemicals. For example, several northeastern states, including New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, have recently enacted regulations limiting PFOA or PFAS ...

Translating Wastewater Surveillance Data
Faced with the need for non-invasive and scalable tools to supplement individual clinical testing and contact tracing efforts, public health officials and wastewater experts have begun turning to wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), which is also known as wastewater surveillance. This practice can monitor substances of concern in communities by detecting and quantifying their concentrations in ...

Sharp (Trouble) shooting
Automatic control valves often are viewed as simple pieces of equipment. They open, close, or modulate to control water pressure, flow, level, or pumps. Automatic control valves are found all over the world for use in irrigation, fire protection, aviation, building trades, and waterworks distribution systems to name a few. They are installed in unseen or inconspicuous locations underground, on ...

Unprecedented Times Call for Smart Measures
Even before this virus, municipalities were operating with a shortage of water resource recovery facility operators - largely due to retirements occurring in an aging workforce, leaving many municipalities in need of immediate replacements and succession plans. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that 8.2% of existing water operators will need to be replaced annually between 2016 and 2026. ...

Flattening the (Diurnal) Curve
Most sewer flows are characterized by repeatable diurnal patterns that vary across weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Differences in land use also are apparent, and distractions and disruptions of daily life often can be observed. The coronavirus pandemic has touched all of us in some way. Normal is simply not normal anymore. Instead, our usual routines at home, work, and school have been replaced ...

Focus on Safety, Resiliency, and Effectiveness
Across the U.S., infrastructure is being pushed beyond its intended life. Many owners are faced with budget-constrained decisions about how to upgrade or replace critical elements of daily life in their communities. This was the dilemma facing the Delaware County Regional Water Quality Control Authority (DELCORA) as its Pump Station EPS-1, along the bank of the Delaware River in Chester, ...

Stabilizing Nutrient Recovery
In 2016, the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center (Buford, Georgia) experienced periodic episodes of increased phosphorus (PO4–P) breakthrough from its bioreactor basins (BRBs). This reduction in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) performance resulted in increased reliance on metal salt addition to the mixed liquor and tertiary filtration influent streams. As a result, the ...
