Permits for wastewater plants only move in one direction — tighter and tougher.
Each time a facility discharges into a river, lake, or ocean, it must meet stricter limits on nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen to protect ecosystems downstream.
That means utilities can’t just monitor anymore — they must remove. From plant upgrades to advanced nutrient removal, the pressure is driving major innovation in treatment technology and process control.
As Carlos Williams of Hach explains, smarter monitoring and adaptive solutions are helping utilities rise to the challenge of ever-cleaner water.
