Your challenges

Municipalities today face rising demands to manage wastewater efficiently and sustainably while balancing tight budgets and aging infrastructure.

Outdated or Overloaded Wastewater Infrastructure

Many municipal systems struggle with population growth, climate change, and extreme weather events, leading to frequent breakdowns, sewage overflows, and service disruptions.

High Maintenance Costs and Limited Monitoring

Without smart monitoring and automation, municipalities often rely on reactive maintenance, resulting in higher operational costs, unplanned downtime, and inefficient use of resources.

Strict Environmental Regulations

Compliance with increasingly stringent water quality standards—including the removal of micropollutants, nitrogen, and PFAS—requires advanced treatment technologies that many traditional plants lack.

Community Concerns Over Public Health and Water Quality

Residents expect safe, clean water and reliable wastewater services. Municipal systems must consistently meet these expectations by eliminating harmful contaminants and protecting local ecosystems.
