Cambrian

Our team recently came together to visit a client site at a major cheese production facility. The system on-site handles large volumes of high-strength dairy effluent. Despite their high BOD levels and strict phosphorous discharge limits, they are now capable of treating their wastewater to surface discharge quality while capturing the produced biogas as a renewable fuel source.   We are proud of our close relationships with our clients. Our integrated partnerships ensure they not only meet their most pressing goals, but maintain our standard of excellence for the duration of our partnership.

The water treatment workforce is aging, bringing about a "silver tsunami" as 1 in 3 operators are set to retire in the next 10 years. Now, industrial facilities across the country not only face a dwindling pool of young candidates, but the challenge of ensuring institutional knowledge is handed over to the next generation.   In this edition of The Shifting Current, we highlight ongoing trends around experience in industrial water treatment, hearing perspectives from members of Cambrian's team on these growing challenges. Insights from: david nelson, Field Service Representative Kim Sarles, MSHRD, SPHR, Director of HR Josh Hanlon, VP of Operations   Subscribe to The Shifting Current to receive every edition as it’s published.

The World Cup has historically been a test for the host nation's infrastructure, and this year is no different. Across North America, water infrastructure has stolen the spotlight, highlighting the intersection of water scarcity, aging treatment systems, and extreme heat.    However, amid these challenges we've seen a number of innovative projects and movements seeking to offset the impacts of the tournament on water supplies, especially those in resource-strained regions.    Today, we're highlighting some of these innovative practices that are protecting communities' water supplies from the impacts of short-term population surges while building long-term resilience.

Industrial manufacturers have viewed wastewater systems as table stakes for decades, deprioritizing their performance and cost over production-critical equipment and process improvements. Now, as many of these systems approach the end of their useful life and municipal capacity stagnates, facilities are beginning to see the hidden costs in under-performing or outdated systems. In this edition of The Shifting Current, we highlight the widespread issue of system decay in industrial wastewater treatment. In addition, learn how systematic deferral of maintenance obscures rising costs and creates more serious challenges for operations teams down the road.

Industrial facilities reliant on public utilities are approaching an inflection point.   The American Water Works Association 2026 State of the Water Industry report notes that confidence in public water utilities has fallen to an 8-year low, citing rapidly rising costs and aging infrastructure as ongoing hurdles for a chronically under-funded industry.   The report also finds that less than half of utilities can currently cover their operational costs, driving many to raise rates in the short-term. These trends are creating concern for industrial facilities who often see rate hikes, new surcharges, or even withdrawal limits as their utility tries to offset long-term funding issues.   Now, industrial facilities are reassessing their tolerance for risk and variability as well as how best to secure their operations in the long-term.   At Cambrian, we help facilities of all sizes overcome their greatest operational challenges in wastewater. In doing so, our clients gain access to new opportunities for growth and resilience against shifting economic conditions. Looking to get ahead of water-related challenges?

Cambrian's Chief Revenue Officer Christine W. will be joining a panel on "Industrial Reuse Financing" at this year's WEF / WateReuse Industrial Water Solutions conference. If you are attending, join next Wednesday, June 10th from 10:30AM - 12PM for a lively discussion on the future of industrial wastewater projects. We're looking forward to seeing familiar faces and making new connections in Chicago!

We recently wrapped up Cambrian's One Team Summit in Miami, spending two full days connecting, bonding, and celebrating our growing team. We are always grateful for the chance to come together from sites across the country and align our collective vision while enjoying some sun, sand, and relaxation. Here's to a great second half of 2026, we're already looking forward to our next Summit!

Data centers have become central to conversations around water scarcity. With the narrative focused on their high resource demands, it is easy to overlook how these facilities are consistently improving the efficiency of their water usage. Given their relatively simple water makeup, today's challenges are less about treatment and more about procedures, technology, and operational security.   In this edition of The Shifting Current, we unpack the misconceptions we see in the field and what actually drives water risk for data center teams. Learn how to think about Water Usage Effectiveness in context, why early planning is critical, and how flexibility will define who comes out ahead in this space in the coming years.   Subscribe to The Shifting Current to receive every edition as it’s published.
