Western Water Works Supply Company and Advanced Valve Technologies (AVT) have recently announced a partnership that will see the AVT EZ Valve become more accessible to the water utilities of Southern California.
Western Water Works provides smooth running jobs from start to finish to the contractors and water utilities within their region and will work with AVT to educate local water professionals on the virtues and values of inline insertion valve technology.
The AVT EZ Valve is designed with an integrated isolation gate that allows the valve to be installed under pressure in challenging conditions. Using this valve allows customers to improve uptime and achieve greater environmental stewardship because it enables faster restoration than alternative solutions, has no negative effect on pipe integrity and can be installed at full pressure with no need to shut off the water supply.
Six water operators have completed AVT’s innovative training program and are ready to start installing 4-12” valves. More operators are scheduled for training over the coming weeks.
