BACKGROUND

In late December 2010, a weather pattern dubbed the “Pineapple Express” resulted in heavy rainfall in Southern California. In one week, many cities in the region received as much rain as normally falls in a year.

Not surprisingly, this weather pattern created massive inflow and infiltration and placed enormous pressure on the sewer lines.

SUMMARY

The plan signed by the Water Quality Control Board explains:

“The SmartCover is a self-contained, wireless monitoring system with immediate alarming and historical data logging capabilities. One of the primary uses of the SmartCover system is the prevention and advanced notification of SSOs.”

“When the water level rises above the customers predetermined threshold due to a constriction or capacity issues, an alarm is sent directly to emergency response personnel. This enables the Respondent to receive advanced notice of an issue in the collection system so that corrective action can be taken before an overflow occurs.”
