For 34 years, Steve and Lana Gleason made due without a traditional residential water system. The couple, who live in the rural logging community of Jewell, Oregon, pumped water for washing from a nearby river and made 40-mile round trips from their home to haul drinking water from a spring.

High-quality drinking water often alludes residents in these remote areas, where hooking into the municipal water supply can be difficult and cost-prohibitive. With the help of the Water Supply Costs Savings Act signed into law in 2016, nonprofit efforts like Xylem Watermark and Hometown H2O are increasing the use of cost-effective alternatives such as water well systems.

The culturing of mussels and oysters for the company takes place in the Oosterschelde, an almost 100,000 acre (37,000 hectare) tidal wetland that is part of the North Sea. The Oosterschelde is the largest national park in the Netherlands and an important fishing ground for mussels, oysters, flatfish and crabs.

Situated on Winter Island, a 54-acre peninsula located northeast of Salem, Massachusetts, Plummer Youth Promise is a child welfare organization that...

Body care, including showering and bathing, is the biggest water consuming activity within domestic households, accounting for around 40% of daily consumption. In a bid to make showering more water efficient, Danish start-up company Flow Loop designed the ‘LOOP’ – a sustainable yet luxurious recycling shower solution that reduces water consumption by 80%.

Operators of one of the largest coal fired power plants in the US based in Michigan, were looking for an efficient, robust and reliable pumping solution to move sludge water from each of the plant’s four sumps.

Xylem Rental Solutions helped a North Carolina community restore water service quickly during the COVID-19 outbreak with a temporary replacement, using a Flygt submersible pump, after a permanent pump failed.

An inspection of the pump showed that the internals had been severely damaged by overheating. The plant operators arranged for the pump to be repaired off-site at Xylem’s Morton Grove facility before being returned for recommissioning.

Working with Xylem UK, PolyPump proposed to replace the historic booster set with a fully automatic GHV series booster set. The series is typically used for water supply and pressure increase in commercial and industrial facilities, municipalities and large-scale settings such as apartment buildings and hotels.

This pioneering pump turns feedstock like cheap sugar into clean-burning ethanol fuel that emits far less greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than oil-based gasoline. It’s designed to be installed in household driveways and the parking lots of small businesses.

Regulate and monitor pressures, supervise flow rates, consumption, and non-revenue water (NRW) in different sectors, and bring together system information from various sources including the SADM’s SCADA.

The estimated flow through this regulator was 85 MGD, with a combined plant capacity of 170 MGD. Local environmental regulations restricted the use of diesel engines to 175 HP or less, and all engine driven equipment was required to be sound attenuated to 50 decibels at 30 feet.

In search for the best wastewater treatment process in terms of removal of microbiological contaminants and the abatement of bromate discharge, RWTH Aachen University, along with the other environmental institutions, launched a research project and partnered with Xylem to test the effects of wastewater ozonation on water quality and its ecosystem.

New building codes continue to raise efficiency standards for new and existing buildings; economic conditions pressure organizations to cut energy costs wherever possible; and new corporate sustainability initiatives require steady efficiency improvements.

Xylem built a coal ash disposal solution that met regulatory requirements while controlling labor and fuel costs.

Les Aliments Bari Inc.’s processing plant in Saint-Léonard-d’Aston, Quebec, Canada, needed a new wastewater treatment solution. In the past, wastewater was stored in large tanks on-site that was then applied on local farmland when weather permitted.

Air Selangor is a large water distribution company owned by the Malaysian state of Selangor. The public utility serves a population of 8.4 million residents and manages over 6200 kilometers of trunk mains, ranging from 300mm up to 2200mm, with much of the pipelines located in remote areas of the state.
