Sewer pump stations, also known as lift stations, are an essential part of any municipal wastewater system. They are used to move wastewater from lower to higher elevations, where gravity flow is not possible or economical. Lift stations typically consist of pumps, valves, pipes, control panels, and other components that work together to transport wastewater to a treatment plant or another destination.
However, managing lift stations can be challenging and costly for operators. Lift stations require regular maintenance, inspection, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance and prevent failures. Failures can result in environmental damage, health hazards, regulatory fines, and public complaints. Moreover, lift stations are often located in remote or hard-to-access areas, making site visits time-consuming and risky.
That’s why SCADACore’s Lift Station Monitoring solution can be a game-changer for your wastewater operations. SCADACore’s Lift Station Monitoring is a cloud-based, real-time monitoring and alerting system that connects your lift stations to the internet through cellular or satellite networks. With SCADACore’s Lift Station Monitoring, you can:
