As temperatures drop, frozen pipes and water main breaks become a major threat to utilities. When water freezes inside pipes, it expands, causing pressure build-up, cracks, and catastrophic bursts. The result? Sudden surges of water loss costly emergency repairs, and disruptions to service.

40% of wastewater plant operators we've interviewed struggle to meet effluent quality standards outlined in Colorado's REG 85. This critical regulation aims to control nutrient levels, including nitrogen and phosphorus, to protect water quality in rivers and streams.

All of the lagoon systems we interviewed had or are currently experiencing issues with meeting effluent requirements. Lagoon systems, which were once considered low-cost and effective, are now facing mounting compliance pressures due to stricter regulations from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).

From practical solutions to leveraging advanced data technologies, this conversation offers valuable insights for communities looking to enhance system efficiency and reduce costs.

Our recent survey of Colorado Water and Sanitation providers has revealed a critical issue: over 70% know they have water losses but aren’t tracking them effectively. This oversight isn't just about wasted water—it's costing you significantly.
