Wet Weather & Overflow Response
Pre-planned decisions that keep a high-flow event from turning into a reportable violation.
Flow Equalization Readiness
Equalization basins only help if they're actually empty when the next storm hits.
Bypass Authorization & Notification
Bypass decisions need to be pre-planned against specific permit conditions, not improvised during the storm.
Disinfection Capacity Limits
UV and chlorination systems have a fixed hydraulic capacity that can become the actual bottleneck during peak flow.
Collection System I&I Reduction Programs
Long-term capital programs that reduce wet weather flow at the source rather than only managing it at the plant.
Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Management
Specific regulatory and operational requirements for systems where stormwater and sewage share the same pipes.
Peak Flow Management Plans
A pre-approved operational plan specifying exactly how the plant responds as flow rises through defined thresholds.
Stormwater Pump Station Coordination
Coordinating with separate stormwater pump station operations that can significantly affect plant influent flow patterns.
Post-Storm Recovery & Assessment
Structured review after a significant wet weather event, capturing lessons before institutional memory fades.
The industry's most useful newsletter, straight from the plant floor.
One email. No fluff. New lessons, equipment breakdowns, and process control notes, delivered when there's something worth reading.
