BACKGROUND

The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) is a regional utility, certified by the California legislature in 1918 to protect local waterways from contamination. CVWD has grown into a multifaceted water agency that serves 270,000 residents in several communities in southeastern California.

In its wastewater division, CVWD maintains 1,160 miles of sewer pipe, of which 90 miles is force mains. The system also has 22,355 manholes, 27 lift stations, 133 air-release valves and five wastewater treatment facilities.

SUMMARY

The real-time monitors have brought CVWD operations staff peace of mind, knowing that the district’s sewers and lift stations are being monitored 24/7. Several potential public health hazards were prevented because early warnings have changed operations from reactive to proactive.

The ability to make data-based risk assessments preserves time, money and other resources to optimize operations and effectively comply with regulatory requirements and address staff safety, public health and environmental sustainability.
