Water Research Seminar | Water Efficiency: Infiltration and Inflow (I/I)
Join us for another seminar in our Water Research Series, featuring experts examining emerging challenges shaping water, wastewater, public health, and infrastructure.

Description: Water efficiency is a critical priority for utilities seeking to optimize their wastewater collection systems and reduce unnecessary operational costs. A major obstacle to achieving this efficiency is Infiltration and Inflow (I/I) — the entry of unwanted non-domestic water into wastewater collection systems through cracked pipes, faulty connections, and stormwater inputs. Left unaddressed, I/I significantly increases the volume of water requiring treatment, strains system capacity, and drives up operational costs for utilities. This webinar will examine the causes and consequences of I/I and provide attendees with practical, actionable strategies for detecting and reducing I/I in their systems. By addressing I/I, utilities can improve system performance, extend the life of their infrastructure, conserve resources, and build more sustainable and cost-effective wastewater operations for the communities they serve.
Presenter: Timothy Byrd, Construction Manager, Baltimore County Public Works and Transportation
