Relations
- ADDRESSES → Inflow and Infiltration
- SUPPORTS → Infrastructure Resilience
Evidence
Effective utility planning helps water and wastewater agencies prioritize investments while maintaining reliable service levels.
Inflow and Infiltration
Concept
Also known as: I&I
Groundwater and stormwater entering wastewater collection systems through defects, leaks, and unauthorized connections.
Relations
- INCREASES → Peak Wet Weather Flow (declared)
Evidence
Reducing inflow and infiltration can improve collection system performance and reduce unnecessary treatment costs.
One Water
Taxonomy
Integrated management framework recognizing drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, reuse, and environmental systems as interconnected resources.
Relations

- COVERS → Digital Water
- COVERS → Utility Planning
- COVERS → Infrastructure Resilience
Evidence
One Water planning integrates traditionally separate water systems to support long-term sustainability and resource management goals.
PFAS Solutions
Service
Carollo's dedicated service line for evaluating, piloting, and designing PFAS treatment systems, drawing on granular activated carbon, ion exchange, and reverse osmosis technologies to help utilities remove PFAS from drinking water and wastewater.
Relations
- REGULATED_BY → EPA PFAS Drinking Water Standards
Evidence
Carollo has broad expertise in PFAS planning, pilot studies, and evaluation of advanced treatment technologies.
Infrastructure Resilience
Service
Carollo's resilience and sustainability practice, helping water and wastewater utilities reduce vulnerabilities, improve recovery, and embed sustainability into every phase of their infrastructure and operations.
Evidence
Carollo partners with clients to build resilience and embed sustainability into every phase of their systems, helping them reduce vulnerabilities, improve recovery, and deliver long-term value to the communities they serve.
Peak Wet Weather Flow
Concept
The elevated flow volumes entering a collection or treatment system during storm events, which utilities must convey, store, or treat to prevent overflows and protect treatment plant capacity.
Evidence
During significant storm events, peak wet weather flows from the collection system are diverted and stored in the storage tank which prevents back-up or overflow situations at the City's wastewater treatment facility.
