About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Pennsylvania American Water Signs Agreement to Purchase the City of Pittston’s Wastewater System

Pennsylvania American Water to Invest Over $5 Million in First Five Years

Pennsylvania American Water announced today that it signed an agreement with the City of Pittston to acquire its wastewater collection system for $26.4 million. The system serves approximately 4,400 customers throughout the city. Pennsylvania American Water is already the drinking water service provider for the City of Pittston and has more than 135,000 customer connections in the region.

“We’re committed to our customers, providing high-quality water and wastewater services to help protect public health and the environment,” said Pennsylvania American Water President Justin Ladner. “We’re already the water service provider for residents of the City of Pittston, and we are truly honored that city leaders recognize the value we provide and that they’ve decided to entrust us with the future ownership of their wastewater collection system. We look forward to continuing to build upon our strong existing relationship.”

As part of the agreement, Pennsylvania American Water has agreed to make necessary collection system upgrades, which are expected to total more than $5.1 million over five years. Specifically, the company plans to make significant investments in main replacements; technology updates; security and safety systems; and geographic information system improvements.

"After a thorough and professional vetting process of potential purchasers for the City’s sewer conveyance system, I am pleased to announce that Pennsylvania American Water has presented the most beneficial proposal,” said Pittston Mayor Michael Lombardo. “Their plan offers a strong opportunity for the City, particularly in terms of future infrastructure modernization, ongoing maintenance and thoughtful consideration of both current and future rates, especially for our homeowners, seniors and residents on fixed incomes.”

He added, “The purchase price and future investments committed to by Pennsylvania American Water will support the City’s long-term financial stability, create reserve funding to help offset rising fees and may even allow for additional homeowner tax relief. I’m proud of the work done by city council and my administrative team on this forward-thinking initiative, and I’m confident in strengthening our already strong partnership with the Pennsylvania American Water team."

As the sole owner of the collection system, the City of Pittston would receive the proceeds from this proposed sale. It plans to use proceeds to support essential services for residents and to make various other community improvements, including support of the Market & Main project – a seven-story building that encompasses housing, retail and the 630-seat American Theatre.

As proposed, City of Pittston customers would be brought on at current collection rates at the time of the transaction close. The company’s rates are set by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC), and any future rate changes must be reviewed and approved by the PUC. Wastewater treatment is provided by Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority, which bills customers directly for treatment service.

Pennsylvania American Water’s H2O Help to Others Program™ offers income-based financial assistance for customers in need. Details are available at pennsylvaniaamwater.com/H2O.

Pennsylvania American Water will seek all necessary approvals from its regulators and expects to close the transaction by late 2026.
