The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) is a sovereign governmental nation made up of three Native American tribes – Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla.

The city of Columbia, Tennessee, experienced a major pump failure in the spring of 2020 that led to sewage overflows, spurring them to engage Xylem Rental Solutions for an emergency pump rental. Xylem engineered a custom temporary bypass system with Flygt electric submersible pump.

One customer, operating a hard rock nickel mine in Ontario, needed an efficient and reliable solution to transport its mine slime from an underground sump back to the surface while ensuring continuity in production and minimizing downtime.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Global Ecology Group (GEG) developed a fogging system to support the delivery of ECAS solutions in benign disinfection applications. GEG’s Founder and CEO, Owen J. Morgan, has been developing ECAS since the early 1990’s but enlisted Xylem’s help to create amore accessible, portable ECAS fogging system for everyday spaces such as offices and vehicles.

While universal access to safe drinking water is a fundamental need and basic human right, it is estimated that 2.2 billon people globally lack access to safely managed water resources. While those in developing countries are most affected, with up to 80% of illnesses directly linked to inadequate water and sanitation, escalating climate challenges are impacting supply around the world.

In order to further protect its customers’ drinking water and comply with the latest WIMES and DWI disinfection regulations, Cambridge Water needed to differentiate between the alarms for “quartz sleeve failure” and “UV lamp failure” at its Hinxton Grange facility, thereby allowing operators to take decisive and immediate action in the event of a problem.

The Mimizan Federation of Municipalities is implementing the Xylem Vue platform to reduce inflow and infiltration by improving infrastructure monitoring.

Lyndhurst officials prefer Flygt's submersible-pump solution for its sewer department’s stormwater station.

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.

Xylem was tasked with designing a seep collection system to collect water from a low volume seep through the wall of a decommissioned fly ash pond. The sump was located in an active river floodplain that flooded with as little as 1-2 inches of rain, so the customer needed an automatic shutdown when the river covered the sump.

To help address the USS Hornet’s urgent wastewater system needs, a Xylem Goulds Water Technology 1GD51G4AA model grinder pump was recommended to replace the damaged unit that serves one of the ship’s critical onboard sewage tanks. This support provided the museum with a reliable, high-quality replacement that restored confidence in an essential system while easing the financial burden on the nonprofit organization.

Chris Hock, owner of North Valley Pump Service, Cave Creek, AZ is a professional residential water systems installer. Chris was approached by a local homebuilder inquiring into the possibility of tapping the municipal water supply contained in a storage tank outside the town of Rio Verde.

Geisinger Medical Center installs Goulds Water Technology e-SVTM stainless steel multi-stage pumps to significantly lower lifecycle costs and increase energy savings.

In most cases, bigger is not better when it comes to residential wastewater pumps. Whether a residential system requires an impeller or grinder pump, the pump should be sized for the application.

Before online instrumentation, process adjustments to biological activated sludge processes were made based on delayed results from laboratory testing. The introduction of online instrumentation to the process tanks improved the response time and allowed operations staff to make process adjustments based on real-time data.

A North American power utility needed to dewater wet fly ash ponds at sites without permanent power. Xylem engineers created a modular system that combined different products into a single streamlined solution.

For decades, the City of Richmond’s Department of Public Utilities has been working to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and improve water quality in the James River. Despite making significant improvements, the City still experiences between one and three billion gallons of annual overflow and is actively working to reach Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) water quality goals.

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.

Predictive monitoring and automated control optimized combined sewer operations, reducing overflow volumes and deferring major capital infrastructure investment.

Xylem Vue has helped to reduce Cuxhaven’s WWTP aeration energy requirements by over 26% and meet its effluent quality requirements.

In the face of climate change and cost and supply uncertainties, cities and municipalities must operate their plants and processes as efficiently and sustainably as possible. In this context, the town of Kaufbeuren recognized significant potential for energy optimization at its wastewater treatment plant.

Xylem Vue helped Stadtwerke Trier optimize renewable energy use in its drinking water network, achieving 90% self-consumption.

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.
