As global water consumption increases, managing the water resources has become a critical issue. Providing a safe, reliable water supply is a critical driver of health and economic success. The project team developed a “smart pump station” for a waste water system that helps water utilities receive more reliable information, better manage water resources, reduce reactive maintenance, and improve water quality. The project will use machine to machine technology to collect, process, and analyze the state of the water system. The solution will enable Cincinnati to collect actionable information from its water system in a timely manner to improve water quality and facilitate the management of its water resources.
