THE CHALLENGE

San Antonio Water Systems (SAWS) located in San Antonio, Texas, serves a population of about 1.8 million and operates and maintains over 5,700 miles of sewer pipe and about 120,000 manholes. It is one of the largest municipal water systems in the country with more than 11,000 miles of potable water and sewer pipes.

SUMMARY

San Antonio Water System has successfully leveraged smart sewer technology to address their changing infrastructure needs.

In addition to a better understanding of their systems, SAWS has prevented sanitary sewer overflows, optimized their cleaning and odor control programs, in turn optimizing resources and preserving utility assets.

The integration of smart sewer technology has allowed improved visualization of site conditions leading to a more proactive versus reactive decision-making process. These 24/7/365 ‘eyes and ears’ of the sewer system have brought peace of mind knowing sewers are being monitored, data is automatically analyzed and plenty of advance notice is provided to assist operators in protecting public health.
