BACKGROUND

The City of Arlington, Texas is home to over 360,000 residents, with attractions like the NFL Cowboys, MLB Rangers, Six Flags Over Texas theme park and a vibrant business community.

SUMMARY

Many utilities employ comprehensive capacity assurance, management, operations and maintenance (CMOM) programs to prevent sanitary sewer overflows. Such measures include backup pumps, frequent cleaning in high-risk areas, capital projects, and flow reduction to maintain the pipes at their designed capacity.

While these programs can be effective, they often do not allow utility staff to be proactive in the face of rapidly evolving events. To provide next level understanding, control and response, the City of Arlington looked to advanced data-driven solutions to provide a real-time view into the operation of their collection system.

The City of Arlington deployed SmartCover to gather real-time water and rain level information for both spill protection and improved capital planning processes. The wireless, satellite-based communication used by the SmartCover system is highly reliable in all conditions, with purpose-built sensors that withstand harsh conditions within sewer systems.

SmartCover provides an advanced collection system visibility and notification platform with integrated weather and flooding data, giving wastewater operators advance lead time for responding to potential issues before they become environmental, public health and financial hazards.
