Upper Arlington city officials hope spending more than $60,000 on a new PVC membrane system for Devon Pool will extend its life by at least a decade and reduce potential safety hazards for swimmers.

They’re like bundles of hollow spaghetti, made of semi-porous plastic, with pores so small that bacteria and even viruses get trapped. They are the water treatment “membranes” the Altoona Water ...

A "straight out of science fiction" liquid membrane developed by a team of Penn State mechanical engineers acts as a "reverse filter" that lets large objects through while blocking small ones. The ...

Much of the water available in our faucets and taps can contain impurities that can make it either slightly unhealthy or ...

Filtering and treating water accounts for about 13 percent of all electricity consumed in the US every year and releases about 290 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually. New research ...

For every twist of the tap, soon you’ll be paying more. “The rates will increase, it looks like 10 percent, which the equivalent is $3.60 a month,” City Councilor Sally Russell said Thursday. In a ...
