Building a Messaging Calendar

September 6, 2024

For too many decades (maybe even generations), water utilities have gone about doing their jobs in "silent service". But times change. And with your customers spending hours every day consuming messages on screens, through earbuds, and on their phones, water utilities need to spread the word about the indispensable work going on behind the scenes. It can seem intimidating, but we'll fix that: Come to this class, and in 50 minutes, we'll help you develop an entire year's worth of messages.

Water Utilities: The President's Other Secret Service

September 5, 2024

People talk about "The Swamp", but we don't always realize that Washington is literally built in a swamp -- and the lingering sick water table there probably killed a few of our Presidents. Come find out about the history that we've too easily forgotten.

High-powered pumping, low noise

June 26, 2024

If you find yourself looking for safe, reliable, and neighborhood-friendly options for lift station backup or flood control, the Gorman-Rupp Silent Pump is worth your attention. Capable of flow rates up to 9,950 gpm and able to run continuously for up to 40 hours at full throttle, the Silent Pump is in a class all by itself. It runs automatically and can be left unattended, so you can get to work on the other issues that cry out for your attention. And it's inside a sound-attenuated enclosure, so it's practically impossible to tell that it's even running from more than a few feet away. Find out more and download a brochure.

How Your Utility Got Hacked

The all-purpose backup option

May 23, 2024

Lots of communities around Iowa and Nebraska have suffered from flooding, severe storms, or power outages this spring. It's been a lot more than some collection systems were built to bear.

Consider the Gorman-Rupp Silent Pump if you need a backup pumping system capable of fully automatic operation -- completely unattended, so you can spend your time on other things during an emergency.

The Silent Pump is a self-contained portable lift station with a sound-attenuated enclosure to keep things quiet when there are already lots of other noises piling up. With flow options from 100 gpm to 10,000 gpm, a powerful diesel engine, and fuel capacity for up to 24 hours of continuous full-duty run time, the Silent Pump can be a clutch player when you need it.
