BACKGROUND

Established in 1932 in Orange County, California, the South Coast Water District (SCWD) serves the cities of Dana Point, South Laguna Beach, and parts of San Clement and San Juan Capistrano.

SCWD facilities include 147 miles of water lines, 136 miles of sewer lines, 13 sewer pumping stations, 7 water pumping stations, and 15 reservoirs.

SCWD serves 35,000 residents, 1,000 businesses, and 2 million tourists per year.

SUMMARY

By using SmartCover for remote monitoring of targeted sites and data-driven analysis of the sewer conditions, SCWD has significantly improved their utilization of field staff and resources. Avoiding unnecessary cleaning trips yields both immediate savings and long-term cost-avoidance by reducing wear and tear on pipes.

A bonus benefit of the SmartClean program is the added ability to identify when and where a FOG blockage is exacerbated by inflow & infiltration (I&I) at specific locations. Targeting cleaning and maintenance helps SCWD avoid potential sewer spills, better serve and protect their community, and extend the life of the sewer infrastructure assets. This preventative cleaning program is saving money and preventing regulatory sanctions that typically result from unexpected sewer spill events.
