Clean water is a basic expectation in the United States, yet millions of Americans still live in areas with unsafe or unreliable drinking water. High-profile crises like Flint’s lead disaster grabbed national attention, but many other cities continue to struggle with contamination that stems from aging infrastructure, poor regulation, political conflict, or environmental injustice.

Access to clean, safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet many Native American communities continue to face severe water challenges due to aging infrastructure, contamination, remote locations, and long-standing underfunding.

Across the country, water systems are aging, demands are rising, and the challenges tied to climate change aren’t slowing down. But one issue is quietly shaping the future of every treatment plant, utility, and public works department: a rapidly shrinking water workforce.

California State Parks host some of the most ecologically diverse landscapes in the country, from coastal bluffs and mountain lakes to historic sites and deserts. With millions of visitors exploring these parks every year, the need for reliable, sustainable water treatment has never been more critical.

The federal government is opening again (or so it seems), bringing long-awaited relief to the agencies, contractors, and communities that depend on federal funding.

The latest government shutdown isn’t just a story about politics and paychecks; it’s about water. Across the country, towns and cities are watching vital clean water projects stall while federal agencies sit in limbo.

When the federal government shuts down, it isn’t just a matter of locked doors and furloughed employees. For the vast ecosystems of our national parks and the watersheds they sustain, the impacts can be far-reaching, long-lasting, and quietly destructive.

And so the government shutdown continues, and this time, it’s hitting the irrigation and water sectors hard. If you work in Ag, construction, or utilities, you’ve probably already felt it.

When people hear about a government shutdown, they usually think of closed national parks, furloughed federal workers, or political gridlock in Washington. But one of the less obvious yet critical areas affected is water treatment and infrastructure.

Industrial wastewater management is no longer just about compliance; it’s becoming a cornerstone of sustainability, innovation, and corporate responsibility.

We proudly support the Environmental Industry by providing advanced filtration and water treatment systems designed to protect natural resources, support regulatory compliance, and promote sustainable practices.

Central Michigan University (CMU) has embarked on a groundbreaking venture that could transform water filtration technology.

As reported by The Seattle Times, PFAS has been identified in 866 private drinking water wells.

ASME's Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) was established. In the early 1900s, following two devastating boiler explosions that took place at factories in Massachusetts.
