Making Water Fit for Public Consumption              and Reuse

You’re tasked with supplying a basic service to consumers and communities. But we know there’s nothing basic about analyzing, treating and transporting water. Xylem is here to help you provide the best water quality with a complete range of advanced treatment solutions. And our energy-efficient products and systems safely move water to where it’s needed most for a more highly sophisticated infrastructure.

Working in a true partnership, we listen, learn and adapt to your local environment. So wherever you and your consumers reside, water is delivered ready to use in the most cost-effective manner possible.

In the public utilities industry, Xylem is working throughout every part of the water cycle including:

Transporting water:

    • For public utility water supply networks, Xylem’s powerful pumps draw raw water from its sources – wells, rivers, lakes and oceans
    • Pump systems move water to and from treatment plants, to storage facilities, and on through distribution systems to public utility consumers

 Treating water:

    • Membrane and gravity media filtration systems for purifying and desalinating water; filtration system solutions range from packaged residential units to city-scale treatment installations
    • Disinfection offerings from Xylem include world-class ultraviolet and ozone oxidation solutions for water treatment
    • Analytical sensors, instruments and systems for measuring and monitoring water quality, level and flow
    • Integrated solutions combining Xylem technologies and engineering expertise to offer full process design, equipment selection and supply, installation, commissioning and operator training\

Public Utilities Case Studies

Creating a stable biological environment in The Colony, Texas

​Flygt creates a novel “pump-in-the-round” for a major wastewater treatment plant expansion in Texas

N-Pump eases wastewater plant sludge handling

Wastewater treatment facilities in Scotland and Germany turned to Xylem’s Flygt brand for greater efficiencies and savings in maintenance

Saving energy at a sewage lift station

​The City of Milford wanted a way to save energy at the Welches Point sewage lift station. By adding a small booster pump to the sewage pumping system, the city reduced the station's annual energy consumption by 36,096 kWh which resulted in annual savings.

Superior aeration with 40% less energy

​To curb rapidly increasing energy costs, the owners of the Italian treatment plant Parma West installed a modern aeration system based on Sanitaire membrane discs from Xylem.

Supplying filtration membranes to garden’s wastewater treatment network

​Novel membrane filters power ultra-compact wastewater plant for Venice's garden on the island of Sant'Erasmo
