Discover the key to designing an effective PFAS treatability study: https://bit.ly/4fae98K 🚰 As water utilities grapple with increasing PFAS contamination and the EPA’s strict Maximum Contaminant Levels (#MCLs), the race for safe drinking water is on. Innovative strategies are now more critical than ever. ⚗️ Charles Schaefer, director of CDM Smith’s Research and Testing Lab, reveals how rapid small-scale column tests are revolutionizing the way we evaluate materials like granular activated carbon (#GAC). By speeding up the process and testing multiple conditions at once, researchers can develop and refine PFAS removal strategies in just weeks. 💭 "Rapid small-scale column tests enhance the effectiveness of PFAS treatment strategies by enabling researchers to achieve better decision-making in the early stages," Charles says.

📈 Bringing a sustainable water supply to a growing Virginia community: https://lnkd.in/edsFQBJR 🚰 Loudoun Water partnered with CDM Smith to design and construct a 20-mgd state-of-the-art water treatment facility to address future water demands. From its start 1959, Loudoun Water has purchased from a neighboring facility that sources from the Potomac River. Due to high population growth forecasts, Loudoun developed the Potomac Water Supply Program (PWSP) to ensure a stable water supply for future generations. 🚧 Our experts crafted Trap Rock, a plant that meets drinking water regulations via sustainable expansion and low-impact development. “The Potomac River has supported Loudoun County’s growth for decades, but the river requires the additional off-line quarry storage to sustain population growth while maintaining minimum flows in the river,” said water treatment discipline leader Bill Dowbiggin. “The new facility will provide a reliable and solid foundation for future growth.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/edsFQBJR

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting two insightful events with Ian Ross, Ph.D., FRSC, the Global PFAS Practice Lead at CDM Smith and a visiting Professor at Manchester Metropolitan University. In the afternoon, we held an in-person and webinar event for interested water authorities. Ian covered a wide range of topics and global trends relevant to the Australian water industry, with most Australian States and Territories represented. In the evening, we engaged with industry clients to discuss the latest observations on forensics, PFAS research (including PFAS in concrete), and global trends for emerging contaminants. A big thank you to everyone who attended! We had a fantastic time and look forward to Ian’s keynote presentations at Clean Up 2024. #CDMSmith #Australia #WaterIndustry #EmergingContaminants #Industry #Forensics #PFAS #GlobalTrends

🚨 Is your utility prepared for the Lead and Copper Rule inventory deadline in October? 🚨 🌲 If you're unsure how to classify a service line as galvanized requiring replacement (#GRR), our experts have designed a helpful decision tree to guide you: https://bit.ly/3WlQYQ2 ⚒️ If the customer side of the service line is galvanized and the utility side is non-lead (e.g., copper, plastic, brass), this tool will clarify whether the line meets the GRR classification. 📋 This decision tree follows the Federal Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (#LCRR) guidelines, but always confirm your state’s specific regulations. Start using this resource today to stay compliant! https://bit.ly/3WlQYQ2🌳 #GalvanizedRequiringReplacement #GRR #LeadAndCopperRuleRevisions #LCRR #DecisionTree

📞 Would you pick up the phone over 400 times to answer questions about your utility's lead service line replacement program? 💧Strategic communications specialist Lauren Balsamo would! In this 6-minute video, she shares, "I am in a very customer-facing role, managing what we call the lead service line hotline for one of our clients. When members of the community have questions about the program that's going on in their neighborhood, they can actually talk to a human." 🎙️ "I feel like I've built a relationship with the customers that have called multiple times. I've gone to public meetings where they'll come up to me and say, 'I spoke to you on the phone! You're Lauren, right?' I've gotten that perspective to learn about the public's main questions and concerns," she adds. 🎬 Watch Lauren Balsamo and transportation communications specialist Irie Price share their experiences with meeting facilitation, collecting data and more! #Lead #LCRR #LCRI #DrinkingWater #Transportation #Communications #PublicMeetings
