Cleaning Optimization And SSO Prevention For A Florida Utility

A large community-owned utility in Florida whose sewer collection system handles more than 80 million gallons of wastewater every day, turned to ADS® technologies to improve their cleaning program. With more than 3,900 miles of wastewater collection lines, over 1,300 pumping stations, and eleven wastewater treatment plants, it is one of the largest wastewater systems in the country.

With such an extensive network, the utility needed a method to gain visibility to its underground collection system, including over 100 “hot spots” that required frequent cleaning and often experienced blockages, to avoid Sanitary Sewer Overflows and optimize its cleaning and maintenance efforts.
