Water and wastewater experience

Our experience in the water and wastewater market is proven; for over 100 years we have helped municipalities maintain operations and use power more reliably, efficiently and safely - even when facing tough budget constraints.

Eaton’s comprehensive products and solutions for the water and wastewater market help facilities achieve a competitive and sustainable advantage through proactive management of the power system.

According to the American Water Works Association (AWWA), energy use in water treatment ranges from 5 to 35 percent of the operating budget. The average expenditure is 30 percent.

On top of these expenses comes additional budget pressure: rising energy costs, increased penalties and enforcement from the EPA, and a general lack of funding for capital improvements.

At Eaton, we believe that the power that runs through your plant is a strategic, integrated asset that can be managed - and improved upon - throughout its life cycle. In other words, your energy expenses are not a fixed cost, and you should never resign yourself to spending too much.

Assess the condition of your operations

A simple way to start saving now is with a condition assessment of your operations. Eaton engineers will walk your plant from top to bottom, make detailed accounts of the electrical equipment it contains, and rate each item against our life-cycle scale. We then use this information to make cost-effective recommendations and work with you on a prioritized plan of action: how to address any issues, and with what sense of urgency.

As a leader in power management, Eaton has the expertise and scale to assist through every step of the process. We can provide an initial plant assessment, detailed recommendations, equipment repair and/or procurement, installation, commissioning, and even follow-up engineering services and equipment performance maintenance.
