In the fall of 2017, Grand Rapids contracted with Wachs Water Services to assess and evaluate 20 additional large valves Grand Rapids’ transmission system to pilot the foreign method of maintenance, operation and rehabilitation.

Advances in technology and data analytics now enable utilities to manage pipelines through continuous, incremental investment rather than planning for end-of-life replacement. This approach reduces the overall cost of ownership by preventing failures and avoiding the unnecessary and disruptive replacement of assets with remaining service life.

A safer, more sustainable solution for efficient and cost-effective water disinfection

The French Community of Communes Albères Côte Vermeille Illibéris (CCACVI) is promoting a hypervision project to streamline its water cycle, based on the Xylem Vue platform.

Discover how the City of Mesa, Arizona, used Xylem's SmartBall® technology to pinpoint a hard-to-find pipeline leak, safeguarding infrastructure and avoiding costly delays to a transportation project.

Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA) is a good example of a utility that doesn’t let a confined geographical footprint stop it from thinking outside the box. As one of Georgia’s smallest counties in terms of land size area (only 143 square miles), its location near the top of a regional watershed means it has little area to gather precipitation into streams and rivers.

The Empresa Municipal de Aguas de La Coruña (EMALCSA) manages the water cycle in the city of A Coruña and seven neighboring municipalities, serving a total population of 400,000. The utility collects, treats and distributes over 36 million cubic meters of drinking water to 138,000 customers each year, via a network of over 560 kilometers, 26 storage tanks and six pumping stations.

EMASA (Empresa Municipal Aguas de Málaga S.A.) is the Malaga City Council’s public utility which has been in charge of managing the entire urban water cycle since 1987. The company serves more than 600,000 residents and supplies approximately 42 hm³ of drinking water. The system operates at a flow rate of up to 2 m³/s, ensuring urban water supply through an extensive pipeline network of around 2,000 km, divided into approximately 240 DMAs (District Metered Areas) and equipped with over 240,000 meters, 170,000 of which are smart devices.

Implementation of the Xylem Vue platform to optimize management, anticipate events, and improve the efficiency, resilience, and sustainability of the water cycle in Seville.

Idrica, Xylem´s partner, has delivered its GoAigua solution (now called Xylem Vue) to the Hong Kong Water Supplies Department (WSD) as a pilot project. This deployment aims to develop a digital twin solution customized for the existing freshwater network in selected areas of its NTE Region.

The Immokalee Water and Sewer District was set up in 1978 to provide affordable, reliable water and sewer services to Immokalee, an unincorporated area of Collier County, Florida. The district operates and maintains the water and sewer plants and systems as an Independent Special District of the State of Florida, serving more than 24,000 year-round residents.

This mid-sized utility located in Orange County, California has long been proactive in encouraging water conservation through regulations and outreach programs. Well over a decade ago, the utility became concerned with ongoing apparent water loss (water that is consumed but not properly measured, accounted or paid for) and the economic, social and environmental costs associated with this issue.

In February 2020, the California State Water Resources Control Board announced revised drinking water Response Levels for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) in drinking water. The new Response Levels (RLs) were set at 10 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA and 40 ppt for PFOS. The previous RL was 70 ppt for a combined total concentration for the two contaminants.

A public water agency in California contacted Xylem to treat remove arsenic from a groundwater supply. They needed to achieve a 1 ppb effluent level from the treatment system, 90% lower than the current drinking water standard in California. In addition they needed to have the treatment operating within weeks.
