Asset Management and the Age of Infrastructure
Water is our most precious resource but with some systems dating back a hundred years or more in the United States, our water infrastructure is in dire need of repair. According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s most recent Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey (DWINS, 7th edition, 2023), it will take $625 billion over the next […]

The Dog Days of Summer and Their Impact on Water Quality
Protecting the quality of water sources — for both drinking and recreation — is a year-round pursuit, but during the hot summer months, water utilities must contend with a few unique challenges brought on by warmer weather. One of the most common summer water quality threats is the appearance of harmful algal blooms (HABs), masses […]
Technology That Supports Water Conservation
Summer is in full swing, and in many parts of the country, that means hot, dry weather that puts enormous stress on local water supplies. While water conservation is a worthwhile practice anywhere and at any time of the year, the need to conserve precious water resources is especially critical in communities affected by drought. […]

It’s Drinking Water Week!
For more than four decades, the first full week of May has been recognized as Drinking Water Week, providing an opportunity to acknowledge the critical role water plays in our lives. The observance of Drinking Water Week was established by a joint congressional resolution signed in 1988 by then-president Ronald Reagan. It came about after […]
Earth Day 2023: Invest in Our Planet
In 1969, against a backdrop of high-profile environmental disasters including the Santa Barbara oil spill and the Cuyahoga River fire, Gaylord Nelson, a senator from Wisconsin and passionate conservationist, was inspired to create a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of environmental issues and the need for change. Nelson’s initial concept was to hold a series […]
March into Good Water Stewardship
Naturally, we like to celebrate water all year round — and there are lots of great opportunities to do so. But the month of March is especially saturated (see what we did there?) with occasions to recognize and commemorate good water stewardship. Kicking off the month, National Groundwater Awareness Week (GWAW) took place March 5–11. […]
Love Is in the Water
Valentine’s Day is all about love — and we think there’s a whole lot to love about water utilities and the unsung heroes who keep water flowing to and from our homes and businesses. It may seem effortless: water appears when we turn on the tap, and it goes down the drain when we flush. […]
Resolving to Improve: Small Successes Add Up
With the turn of the calendar page from December to January, many of us also turn our attention to New Year’s resolutions. After all, January represents a fresh start — and it’s as good a time as any to take stock of how we’re doing, both personally and professionally, and how we might change for […]
7 Tips for Preparing Your Water Utility for Winter Weather
It’s mid-December. Fun and festive holiday gatherings are just around the corner. But those aren’t the only things heading our way; for many parts of the country, cold and wintry weather looms ahead.

What if you didn’t have water?
For many of us in the United States, life without water isn’t something we think about. From the moment we wake up, it’s simply there — that first trip to the bathroom, that morning shower, that piping hot cup of coffee. We need water for brushing our teeth, washing dishes, and preparing meals. But it […]
Tackling Aging Infrastructure & Putting Funding Into Action
When you hear the word tackle, what image comes to mind? Perhaps you picture football (’tis the season, after all). But when we think about tackling our aging water and wastewater systems, slamming into them at the force of a linebacker might not be all that productive. Indeed, tackling aging infrastructure can be much more […]
Smart Water Meets Finance
There’s no denying that technology has pervaded our lives, both personal and professional. From our cell phones and smart watches to artificial intelligence and space exploration, we are employing innovative tools that would have been unimaginable just 50 years ago. Over the past few decades, the water industry has begun to embrace technology as well. […]
It’s Smart Irrigation Month!
Ahhh, it’s July. Time for barbecues, beaches, and blistering hot days. There’s nothing like an ice-cold glass of water to quench a summer thirst, am I right? We’re not the only ones parched; our lawns and landscaping are languishing under the sun’s summer rays too. As you might expect, July is not only the hottest […]
