The water sector is constantly facing new challenges, whether it be emerging contaminants, stricter regulations, tighter budgets or aging infrastructure. To meet these challenges, utilities need to consider new tactics to provide the high level of service our customers expect.
 
This webinar will present on multiple innovative approaches that address the issues Virginia utilities are currently or could potentially face.  The first presentation focuses on the evaluation alternative coagulants with a focus on improving DOC removal performance.  The presentation will cover the desktop screening, jar-testing, lab simulated distribution system testing, full-scale testing and finally performance over 5 years of full-scale operation. 
 
The second presentation will discuss how WRF research is helping utilities address current challenges facing the water community, with a focus on water quality.  Specific topics to be presented include per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, cyanotoxins and cyanobacterial blooms, emerging disinfection by-products, opportunistic pathogens in distribution systems and premise plumbing, lead and copper corrosion, and other contaminants.  Both ongoing and recently completed research will be highlighted.
