WEST PALM BEACH, Florida -- Xylem has been selected to provide advanced UV disinfection technology to the first UV-treated drinking water application in Florida.

Xylem's technology will increase protection against cryptosporidium, which is the leading cause of waterborne disease outbreaks in the U.S. According to a Xylem release, 750,000 people are affected each year by the parasite, which is resistant to chlorine. It is, however, easily inactivated by a low ultraviolet dose.

Amid renewed interest in federal investments in infrastructure, DC Water and Xylem are highlighting the need for investing in smart water infrastructure to maximize operational productivity and benefit customers, according to a statement from Xylem.
