Conserving Our Most Precious Resource
From space, the blue and green marble we call home looks deceptively watery. It’s true that about 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, but most of it — over 96% — is saltwater. That leaves about 3.5% in the form of freshwater. But, here’s the thing: Most of THAT is locked up […]

It happens to the best of us: the unexpected demise of a trusty computer or cell phone (or perhaps a poorly executed keystroke… Hey, it was an accident!) results in losing precious data… documents, reports, contacts, logins, customer information, even that cute pic of you and your dog from last Halloween. Gone in an instant. […]
Fixing Water Loss This Fix a Leak Week
When utilities observe Fix a Leak Week (on March 14-20 this year), they mostly communicate outwardly to residents, informing their customers to check their faucets, toilet flappers, or garden hoses for drips, which can add up to a lot of water waste. But what if we as an industry took this opportunity to get our […]

Filter Out the Jargon
We’re all guilty of overusing jargon and assuming our audience understands what we mean.

Well, we’re making amends. We […]
If a Rat Can Cook, You Can Innovate
“Anyone can cook” is the inspirational heart of the Pixar animated movie Ratatouille. It is a phrase that carries a rat from the sewers to the height of French cuisine. And so too, any water utility can innovate. Innovation is not the province of big cities like DC, Chicago, or Los Angeles. Even small, rural […]

Data Doesn’t Lie: Solid-State Meters Are the Future
You wouldn’t buy a typewriter in 2021, would you? Of course not, because a PC, Mac, or even your cell phone far exceeds anything you can accomplish with a typewriter. So, why stick with your old meters — which, despite having a long lifespan, accumulate more and more issues as they age — while upgrading […]
