AquaPoint Quarterly Update

First off, I have to apologize – it’s been forever since I posted here and updated the wastewater world on all things AquaPoint. The good news is I have a decent excuse! We’ve been extremely busy summer and the first part of fall, I feel like I’ve barely had a chance to catch my breath.…

Remembering Our First System Installation!

In June 1992, AquaPoint installed our first Bioclere system at a Stop & Shop Plaza in Yarmouth, Massachusetts. From the outset, AquaPoint’s vision was to stand out by approaching each project individually and use a process-based design as opposed to a standard product.

His presentation, “Building on Success – Going Beyond Regulation” outlined reasons for what he called a “change in paradigm.” He emphasized: “Point source controls…

What Do Advanced Wastewater Treatment & the Holidays Have in Common?

Not much, if I’m honest. That said, we wanted to take the opportunity in this space to wish you the happiest and healthiest of holiday seasons! And also share some new video content…Can that be considered a present? A stocking stuffer at the very least? We will let you decide. The first video is a…

The EPA & Water Reuse

Back in September, the EPA released an action plan for water reuse. The basic long-term goal is to make “wastewater” a thing of the past. We had planned on blogging about this ourselves, but recently Tracy Mehan wrote an outstanding piece on the subject. Instead of rehashing his ideas we thought we would just provide…

Communities and Their Wastewater Management From Predicament to Prospects

Note: This was our first blog post on the new website a year ago. For a few different reasons, mainly its importance, we wanted to repost it on the first anniversary. We are at the end of an infrastructure cycle and the beginning of a new policy era. Wastewater is no longer a pollutant; it…
