ACLARA
The industry’s only fixed-network, remotely correlated, acoustic leak detection system cost effectively helps water utilities quickly identify leaks on water mains before they become major problems. Combining the Aclara STAR Network Advanced Metering Infrastructure system with leak detection technology from Gutermann International, the system automates the process of gathering the necessary data to identify leak locations and minimize water losses, enhancing conservation efforts. STAR ZoneScan’s environmentally sealed Meter Transmission Unit prevents damage caused by water or snow and works on pipes made of a range of materials, including metal, concrete, and non-metallic types.

AMERICAN LEAK DETECTION
American Leak Detection is the world leader in accurate, non-destructive detection of hidden water, sewer, and gas leaks for municipal, commercial, and residential properties. Trained technicians use non-invasive, state-of-the-art technology to accurately locate leaks, saving resources, money, and time, and to avoid unnecessary property damage commonly associated with the conventional search and destroy methods utilized to detect leaks. If a water bill is unusually high or there’s water running indoors or moist ground outdoors, there may be a hidden plumbing leak.

CB&I
This 2-million-gallon Hydropillar elevated water storage tank, built by CB&I for the City of Dublin, OH, was a 2010 STI/SPFA Tank of the Year award winner. In addition to the unique artwork, the tank houses a first floor break room, restroom, and storage area. The first floor space is heated by a geothermal system that provides radiant floor heating through the use of an intricate piping arrangement embedded in the tank’s floor slab.

CLARUS ENVIRONMENTAL
Based on Japanese technology, the Fusion Series Wastewater Treatment Systems from Clarus Environmental use anaerobic and aerobic zones to produce secondary quality effluent. The “drop-in” system is easy to install and maintain. Polypropylene filter media are never removed or replaced and carry a lifetime guarantee. Key operating features include the constant recirculation of treated wastewater and a twice-daily automatic backwash cycle that returns residual sludge to the head of the system. A quiet, programmable compressor delivers oxygen to aerobic zones, while consuming as little energy as a 65-W light bulb.

ETWATER SYSTEMS
The HermitCrab plugs into the remote port on most conventional controllers, converting them to powerful ETwater Smart Irrigation. Via the HermitCrab’s wireless modem, the controller receives a weather-adjusted schedule to eliminate overwatering. Remote management with a computer or smartphone means savings in labor and better customer service. A typical HermitCrab retrofit has a payback of less than one year. And, due to compatibility with most controller brands, customers can efficiently manage various controller brands at multiple sites with the award-winning ETwater Manager system.

TORO CO.
The Toro PrecisionSense site assessment service, which utilizes innovative mobile soil sensing and data collection technology, won the 2011 “New Product Contest” in the golf category at the recent Irrigation Association Show. This solution provides golf course superintendents with GIS of the variability in soil moisture, salinity, compaction, and turf health to more efficiently manage water and other resources. The patented system collects data such as soil moisture volumetric water content, salinity, compaction, turf vigor Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and topography. Data is stored in an onboard computer during the collection process and relayed to Toro for creation of GIS-referenced map images. Turf managers can then receive two types of reports: a Precision Irrigation Audit, and/or Precision Irrigation Management Zones.
