Join ARWA for a day of practical training on water and wastewater utility operations. Sessions will cover wastewater pumps and control panels, hydrants, valves, and ductile iron pipe, followed by ways to use metering, leak detection, pressure data, and asset management tools to improve system reliability and guide maintenance decisions.
| From | Until | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 08:00 AM | 09:00 AM | Wastewater Pumps, Control Panels, and Systems Review types of wastewater pumps. Discuss the sizing and application of wastewater pumps. Review typical pumping systems and their configurations and controls. Austin Baker |
| 09:00 AM | 10:00 AM | ALPHA Hydrants and Valves with AFC Learn about American Flow Control valves, American-Darling fire hydrants, and Alpha products, highlighting key features, applications, maintenance and solutions for reliable water distribution system Mitch Mathaias and Clint Alford |
| 10:00 AM | 11:00 AM | Ductile Iron Pipe/ ACIPCO Cast iron pipe has been around for hundreds of years. We will look at the design of ductile iron pipe, the standards that go along with ductile iron pipe, and how it’s made. Jim Ballentine |
| 11:00 AM | 12:00 PM | Lunch Provided by Vendor |
| 12:00 PM | 01:00 PM | From Data to Action: Building a Smarter Utility Explore how utilities are using data and technology to identify issues sooner, improve operational efficiecy, prioritize maintenance activities, and build a more proactive approach to managing water infrastructure Adam Breer |
| 01:00 PM | 02:00 PM | The Future of Metering with Kamstrup Discover how advanced meter functionality and acoustic leak detection can transform your approach to identifying and reducing non-revenue water loss Amanda McCary |
| 02:00 PM | 03:00 PM | The Power of Pressure Data Explore how pressure monitoring solutions provide utilities with continuous visibility into system conditions, helping utilities identify issues sooner, and improve operational awareness Tina Moffitt |
| 03:00 PM | 04:00 PM | Transforming Water Utility Asset management withVODA.ai Explore techniques that leverage artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to help water utilities identify high-risk pipeline failures, reduce water loss, and improve long-term system reliability. TBD |
