AFC SEMPER RPM Offers Water Hammer Insight For Monroe, North Carolina

The city of Monroe, North Carolina, is the industrial engine of Union County. Located south of Charlotte, precision manufacturing represents a significant portion of the workforce and contributes to the area’s low unemployment rate of 3%. Manufacturing investment and job creation remain high, and it’s easy to see why the city continues to experience rapid growth.

With growth comes the need for reliable water and wastewater services, and those are managed by the City’s own Water Resources Department. In the summer of 2022, the department saw a handful of main breaks but was having difficulty finding the source because of their locations in desolate or hard to find areas. With the implementation of pressure sensing technology – the AMERICAN Flow Control SEMPER® Remote Pressure Monitor (RPM) – Monroe has gained greater insight into its system and why these main breaks are occurring.
