Description
Aging infrastructure and limited financing required to replace it are the top two issues facing the water sector, according to AWWA’s 2025 survey of water professionals. Workforce limitations, service affordability, and non-revenue water losses further compound the challenge of maintaining a reliable and secure water supply. As infrastructure ages, utilities typically respond in one of three ways: 1. Do nothing, leading to costly emergency repairs. 2. Repair issues as they are discovered, leading to piecemeal, part-by-part fixes. 3. Undertake full replacement. While many solutions for repairing, monitoring, and modeling water networks exist, most require high upfront investment, creating a barrier for many utilities—particularly smaller ones—to adopt new smart water technologies.
To address this, Mueller Water Products has developed a cost-effective and scalable solution that enables utilities of all sizes to upgrade their infrastructure incrementally. Specifically, it offers utilities a new option for maintaining their hydrant networks. The solution provides full renewal of all critical hydrant components—inside and out—without costly excavation or site remediation. It incorporates modern materials such as lead-free brass and stainless steel, which maximize hydraulic performance, improve operability, and extend the service life of wear surfaces. Complementing the hardware is an infrastructure monitoring system powered by Echologics monitoring technologies.
