Moonshot Missions is thrilled to announce that our partner, the City of Akron, Ohio, is teaming up with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of R&D for a cutting-edge pilot-scale research study. This project will explore the use of on-demand peracetic acid (PAA) for the disinfection of combined sewer overflow (CSO), which will offer insights into cost-effective treatment solutions and improving sewer affordability in Akron. A huge thank you to the Great Lakes Protection Fund for making Moonshot’s work in the Great Lakes region possible. The team can’t wait to see the results of this study!

Moonshot Missions’ Senior Utility Advisor Nathan W. Coey recently visited two facilities where he participated in a roundtable discussion and conducted a site visit. The first facility, in Tennessee, has been concentrating on meeting effluent ammonia limits by making improvements to optimize its operations. After learning more about the facility’s immediate needs, Moonshot presented two recommendations: 💧 Install a pump to enhance mixing and increase oxygen levels. 💧 Create a passive filtration system to prevent debris from affecting downstream operations, alongside a dosing strategy to aid in consistent treatment. The second facility, located in Virginia, has been focusing on optimizing its operations by implementing solutions to enhance ammonia levels and ensure consistent chlorination. The improvements being made at this facility are interconnected and build upon each other, resulting in quick wins. Efforts to improve the overall performance and condition of the facility include intentional pumping, tank baffling, aeration support, and enhancements to the chlorination system.

Moonshot Missions recently visited some friends in the Coachella Valley, where team members Joy Pearson EIT, MBA and Melat Zeyne worked with representatives to provide equitable water to the community. A consolidation with the Coachella Valley Water District is on the horizon, slated to begin in 2028. Moonshot is working hard to assess their current and future needs, and to find funding opportunities to help with operations and maintenance until the merger is complete.

Last week, Moonshot Missions had the honor of visiting the Oconto County Wastewater Treatment Plant in Oconto, WI, in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to discuss rising lake levels and unprecedented weather. Located at the mouth of Lake Michigan, the plant excels in maintaining exceptional water quality, and the job they are doing is nothing short of impressive. However, the region faces challenges from recent unpredictable storms. Moonshot Missions is grateful for the opportunity to discuss climate resilience and the proactive measures being taken to preserve the Great Lakes’ water quality. Moonshot’s work in helping to preserve the water quality in the Great Lakes is made possible by the Great Lakes Protection Fund.

Glad to see Moonshot Missions chief George Hawkins reaching out to the water community to highlight the needs of under-resourced communities, and offer a practical solution to help chart a path forward. Thank you for inviting him Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies (ACWA) Two of our team are in your state and we look forward to expanding our service to your communities and people!
Delighted to open the annual Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies (ACWA) conference this morning with enthusiastic and engaged water professionals! Thanks to Jerry Linder Torrey Lindbo Susie Smith and Lisa Landers for inviting me. Since my last visit years ago, we talked how in some ways some issues have changed for the better - better communication, better technologies, better customer engagement, and some ways challenges have become more severe for the worse: extreme weather, aging infrastructure, expensive new requirements - and how to respond without increasing challenges to affordability. We focused on how to drive innovation to overcome the challenges - and a new focus on under-resourced communities. Also glad to introduce Moonshot Missions to the audience and our two team members in Oregon Michael Stuhr, PE Genevieve Mancuso, P.E. Glad for tremendous interest in how Moonshot can help a utility assess its current status and chart not only a path forward, but a change agenda with key stakeholders - and for a deep commitment to find ways to help the smaller and disadvantaged communities that are struggling despite often valiant efforts. Always glad to be in Oregon, its beautiful landscapes and people, and love Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies (ACWA)! Thanks for having me!
