See how water and wastewater utilities are using smart integrated technologies and services:
-
Pumping system with integrated intelligence eliminates chronic clogging and debris buildup in pump station
Looking to improve wastewater pumping reliability and reduce the impact of chronic clogging, the City of Sublimity, Oregon deployed Xylem's Flygt Concertor intelligent pumping system. The utility eliminated recurring blockages, reduced maintenance costs and staff time spent on reactive maintenance, and improved operational efficiency to support a growing population.
-
Colorado utility removes PFCs from well with Xylem’s ion exchange system
Stratmoor Hills, Colorado faced the challenge of meeting evolving water quality and treatment requirements after detecting PFCs in a seasonal well. By implementing Xylem’s selective ion exchange treatment system, the utility reduced contamination to non-detect levels and continued operating the well while meeting updated regulatory requirements.
-
How Greer CPW used nanobubbles to eliminate foaming and cut treatment costs
Seeking to improve wastewater treatment performance and reduce chemical dependency, Greer CPW deployed nanobubble technology to address persistent foaming and process instability. The utility eliminated defoaming and settling chemicals, improved treatment reliability, maintained compliance through peak loading periods, and realized an estimated $210,000–$290,000 in annual savings.
-
Xylem Vue transforms Buffalo’s aging infrastructure into a smart sewer system
With an aging sewer network, Buffalo Sewer Authority faced the challenge of extending infrastructure life while reducing operational risk. By deploying the Xylem Vue platform to create a smart sewer system, the utility captured more than 3 billion gallons of combined sewer overflow volume, optimized existing infrastructure, and improved waterway protection without major new infrastructure investments.

Frequently asked questions
Water and wastewater utilities improve operational performance by reducing unplanned maintenance, increasing pumping reliability, improving energy efficiency and using intelligent technologies to optimize critical infrastructure. Looking to improve wastewater pumping reliability and reduce the impact of chronic clogging, the City of Sublimity, Oregon deployed Xylem's Flygt Concertor intelligent pumping system. The utility eliminated recurring blockages, reduced maintenance costs and staff time spent on reactive maintenance, and improved operational efficiency to support a growing population.
Water and wastewater utilities are addressing aging infrastructure through condition assessment technologies, pipe risk modeling, and predictive maintenance programs that prioritize the highest-risk assets first. Using Xylem’s Pure Technologies SmartBall and PipeDiver platform to pinpoint structural vulnerabilities, Iowa Park, Texas cut non-revenue water from 14% to 8% saving between 100,000 and 500,000 gallons per day.
Utilities improve resilience by upgrading critical treatment infrastructure, adapting to evolving environmental regulations and investing in technologies that improve operational and environmental performance. Looking to improve treatment performance and meet increasingly stringent nutrient removal goals, Howard County, Maryland upgraded its Little Patuxent Water Reclamation Plant with Leopold® elimi-NITE® denitrification technology. The utility significantly improved nitrogen and phosphorus removal, enhanced effluent quality, and reduced nutrient loading to Chesapeake Bay by removing an estimated 4,730 pounds of nitrogen and 965 pounds of phosphorus every day.
Utilities are using advanced treatment technologies, monitoring tools and process optimization strategies to improve water quality, support compliance and maintain reliable operations. Implementing Xylem’s selective ion exchange treatment system, Stratmoor Hills, Colorado reduced contamination to non-detect levels, meeting updated regulatory requirements.
Digital intelligence platforms help water utilities consolidate data from SCADA systems, sensors, and smart meters into unified dashboards that enable faster, evidence-based decisions on treatment, maintenance, and resource allocation. By deploying the Xylem Vue platform to transform its aging sewer network into a smart sewer system, Buffalo Sewer Authority captured more than 3 billion gallons of combined sewer overflow volume.
