Carbon storage hub to include portions of all three local counties

At Grey Area Services, we constantly remind our clients that open and honest communication with all stakeholders including landowners and communities is key, and must begin as early as the planning and permitting phase. During a Public Service Commission hearing, North Dakota landowners expressed frustration over a project developer's lack of communication regarding their proposed carbon capture pipeline. They highlighted inaccuracies in the developer's survey access request and felt ignored in proposing a reroute. #carboncapture #energyindustry #pipeline #corporateintelligence #riskmanagement https://lnkd.in/etdG-B67

Miami-Dade breaks ground on a $1.2 billion wastewater plant project on Virginia Key to recycle millions of gallons of water   Water is one of life's most precious commodities, which is why Miami-Dade County is investing about $1.2 billion in an infrastructure upgrade designed to reuse more than 100 million gallons of water per day at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant on Virginia Key.   On February 1st, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, County Commissioner Raquel Regalado, Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Director Roy Coley, MBA, and his staff, engineers, and designers were all present at the site for a groundbreaking project ceremony. "I forgot the cape for the water warrior," Cava quipped. "It's quite a historic moment for us here in Miami-Dade County and for all of our residents and our future." Cava said the new system will impact three of the county's wastewater plants, and it's a key part of the county's $8.6 billion capital improvement program, which is the largest infrastructure project in Florida's history.   "Pretty amazing," she said. "It means we are taking the water and reusing it for specific purposes. We're using it to cool buildings and other energy-intensive processes at the treatment plant. It's cost-effective, and it's sustainable. Also, what happens here also affects Biscayne Bay in so many ways." Cava said the county continues to make efforts to achieve a resilient future.   Read the Full Article: https://lnkd.in/gaAb7HFb   Learn about ChlorTainer Funding Solutions: https://lnkd.in/gyebKSMU Follow #ChlorTainer for more Water Industry & Chemical Industry content.   #WaterSector #WaterCrisis #Sustainabile #WastewaterTreatment #Funding

Please tell me more! Can you name two high value propositions for smart water solutions metering solutions which benefit the UK water sector? Firstly ; Smarter AMI water meters have the ability to eliminate customer-side leakage by ensuring that any water used customer side of a meter is billed and, therefore, accounted for – and no longer considered NRW leakage. Second; Smart Metering on exsisting cellular networks enable water companies to send out accurate bill’s monthly…. This improved granularity of information therefore improves working capital, and by doing so reduces the cost of borrowing to an industry already struggling to pay for infrastructure improvements. Badger Meter …. We are smart water.

There are more ways available to build infrastructure that communities are starting to use that provides financial flexibility and sharing of risk.

🚀 Innovating for a Sustainable Future: Bellmead’s Leap in Wastewater Management 🚀 In an impressive stride towards sustainable urban infrastructure, the City of Bellmead, alongside partners Ameresco and ECM Holding Group, recently showcased a solution in wastewater management. We're proud to announce the successful rehabilitation of a sewer manhole, a demonstration that marks a significant advancement in our commitment to innovative and efficient city management. What Makes This Special? Utilizing a cutting-edge flexible Polyurea structural lining system, this project exemplifies how quick, efficient interventions can lead to long-lasting infrastructure solutions. This method not only repairs leaks and reduces water infiltration but also promises a dramatic reduction in wastewater treatment costs and an extension of the manhole's lifespan by up to 50 years, all backed by a 10-year warranty. A Collaborative Effort: This demonstration was not just about showcasing a new technology; it was a moment of learning and collaboration. With representatives from City of Belton, TX, City of Hewitt, City Of Lorena, City of Mesquite, City of Woodway, and City of Robinson in attendance, it became a platform for shared insights. Our Thanks: We extend our deepest gratitude to Ameresco, ECM Holding Group, and the attending cities for their collaboration and support. This project stands as a testament to what we can achieve when we work together towards a common goal of sustainability and efficiency. As we move forward, the City of Bellmead remains dedicated to exploring and implementing innovative solutions that benefit our community, environment, and future generations. #CityOfBellmead #WastewaterInnovation #Sustainability #PublicPrivatePartnership #UrbanInfrastructure #Ameresco #ECMHoldingGroup #CollaborativeInnovation
