Pipe replacement: Automated Testing and SRF Funding
Thursday, November 14
1:00-2:00 PM EST
Aging water infrastructure in the U.S. has made replacing water service lines and pipes a priority for many water utilities. But between funding and potential construction delays, the process can be both time consuming and expensive. This one-hour webinar explores options for mitigating the expense and complexity of replacing pipes by helping to identify funding resources and automated solutions for bacterial testing.
Nina Fraulini, IDEXX Water Senior Government Affairs Specialist, discusses State Revolving Funds (SRF) and other resources and how they may be available for water infrastructure projects such as service line replacement. Kathryn Grimball, IDEXX Water Sales Manager – Field Applications, explains how IDEXX Tecta delivers rapid, off-hour bacterial test results, helping crews get back to work faster and reducing project costs. Kathryn and Nina will answer your questions live during the Q&A portion of the webinar.
Rapid Water Microbiology Testing Part 2: Automated Water Testing - Principles, Practice and Use Cases
Tuesday, December 17
15:00-16:00 SGT/PHT
Singapore/Philippines
This 1-hour webinar focuses on IDEXX Tecta, an automated rapid water microbiology testing method new to IDEXX. The webinar explores what IDEXX Tecta is, how it works, the science behind it and how it can complement the existing IDEXX products in your lab. IDEXX Tecta allows remote location sample analysis and reporting even of highly contaminated samples with results provided by email at any time, including weekends.
Dr. Brett Brewin will discuss IDEXX Tecta’s automated microbial detection system for water quality including how it can be used to rapidly detect E. coli and total coliforms.

ASHRAE Standard 514 introduces new requirements for managing building water risks
The Amercian Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning (ASHRAE) recently introduced an enhanced standard for water in human-occupied buildings that establishes minimum requirements for managing risks associated with physical, chemical, and microbial hazards.
Improve water quality by reducing wasted water
Over the past 50 years, the U.S. population has doubled—and water use has tripled, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That's critical not only for water availability but also for water quality.
River quality worldwide suffers from extreme weather events
Extreme weather events due to the changing climate make managing river water quality and quantity tougher than ever. But precisely how water quality responds to recurring and severe weather extremes—and why—is not well understood, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
