BACKGROUND:
The City monitors sanitary sewer flows being discharged to the City’s system from its satellite sewer communities and also monitors rain gauges installed as part of sanitary sewer flow studies. Xylem Vue Inc. provides for the transmittance of the data from these remote sites. In 2025 this telemetry is needed for fifteen (15) satellite sanitary sewer system meter sites and nine (9) rain gauges for various flow studies. The fifteen flow monitoring sites are required by the City’s intergovernmental agreements with each satellite community and needed for billing the communities. The Public Utilities Department will be working to transfer these sites to the City’s SCADA system by the end of the year.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
