Battle of the Brines
Consultant was approached by a public utility department for input on an issue with a 10” force main. The two users of the main were not able to pump at the same time. When both stations were on, the upstream user’s station would sustain damage. Conventional flushing on the force main had not successfully solved the problem and there was no easy access for televising the line. The downstream user agreed to have their pump station utilized for installation of a pig launcher which would allow cleaning the portions of the force main that we felt held the issue. The presentation will discuss the two subsequent jetting/pigging operations and our findings regarding the chemical composition of the process water that led to this problem.
POSTER SESSION
Aid Africa: Empowering Ugandan Communities through Sustainable Water Solutions
Poster session – June 11, 2025 | 10:30am
With a Starbucks located on every major corner across the U.S. and many other countries, an alarming 2.2 billion people in the world still lack access to clean water. Aid Africa takes a more intentional and wholistic approach to project sustainability to ensure success in bringing clean water to communities in Northern Uganda by factoring in resiliency and local context throughout each project. This presentation will address the key considerations in sustainable design, how Aid Africa has successfully implemented approaches to addressing this global water need, and how these approaches can impact our way of thinking about designs locally and across the globe.

You Wouldn't Drive Your Truck with a Faulty "Check Oil" Gauge, so Why Operate a Pump without a KPI Dashboard that Tells You Whazz-Up
June 11, 2025 | 3:00pm
This presentation will describe the limitations of traditional asset management likelihood of failure (LOF) accuracy and outline the importance of integrating the energy management strategies into the asset management protocol to evaluate the remaining useful life of critical electro-mechanical equipment, which is accomplished by Kimley-Horn’s XAK-PACK™ for field wire to water efficiency testing audits. For permanent pumping installations, Kimley-Horn incorporates real-time pump performance and troubleshooting dashboarding into the control and monitoring platform with their Pump Doc Tool.

Utilities are a constant in our industry. Our organizations are essential to providing safe drinking water to our communities and are critical to public health. It is fitting that we are in the water industry because whether we like it or not things are constantly changing. As water erodes and shapes, our policies and ever-changing environment continues to shape how our utilities operate and change how things flow. Whether it’s upcoming or new regulations, staffing shortages, or operating procedures, these all affect how our utilities operate and adapt to the times. This panel will address three main topics from planning for, managing, and tracking progress related to change.
