Following publication of the Environment Agency’s stringent new requirements for reporting on sewer overflows, water companies are under urgent pressure to quantify, report, and mitigate events caused by groundwater infiltration. ...
Among the most important tools to ensure rigorous monitoring of the condition of sewer manholes, the MACP (Manhole Assessment and Certification Program), developed by NASSCO, is today the reference standard in North America. Among the different coding levels, MACP Level 2 stands out as the most complete and detailed assessment, used to gain an ...
The city can now monitor its sewer network and manage their level sensors using the Sensor Access website. ...
Radar level sensors, with their robustness, versatility, and reliability, are a preferred choice for wastewater applications. ...
Sanitation systems are another core part of the water cycle as they manage the entire network from their source to their point of use or end-of-life disposal. Technology is also set to play a key role in these networks in 2024, not only to ensure that they run smoothly, but also to respond to extreme events and control the spread of ...

A utility company identified the need for real-time remote monitoring of water levels in their sewer system to prevent overflow incidents, optimize maintenance efforts and enhance the overall efficiency of their sewer system management. Challenge Traditional methods of monitoring sewer water levels are cumbersome ...
Monitoring the water level in a sewer system is crucial for efficiently managing urban water infrastructure. ...
In all, investments of up to an additional £50 million would be made between now and spring 2025, with plans including improving the existing network, making sure all sewer pipes are connected properly and making communities greener. This will be achieved through the implementation of new wetland schemes in the local countryside, the introduction of swales and tree pits ...
According to UN data, water and climate-related events have accounted for half of the human and economic damage caused by disasters over the last fifty years. Figures show that, during this period, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 45% of recorded deaths (1.3 million people) and 74% of global economic losses. World Meteorological Organization studies have also put droughts, storms ...

The pilot itself was carried out in Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield and Doncaster, with the project winning the Institute of Water North Region Innovation award, Utility Week reports. Some 5,000 sewer alarms were installed in properties throughout these areas, able to monitor water levels in combined sewer gullies thanks to pressure sensors that send ...
Expected operation is driven by a MAP Sewer simplified hydraulic model. This predicts flow in the sewer network and hence in the CSO. ...
Fatbergs, massive accretions of grease and debris, are a big problem in sewers, but decentralized and sustainable solutions have been proposed It weighed as much as a blue whale and was even longer, but Londoners didn’t realize it was lurking beneath their streets until ancient sewer tunnels backed up. ...
The mounting layouts did not have any negative influence on the water level, which remained stable. Thanks to this system change, the surface aerators which had hitherto been used, became a thing oft he past. ...
It can be recovered directly at the source (e.g. in the showers and bathrooms), at building block level (e.g. warm water tanks collecting all grey water), in sewers or at the wastewater treatment plant. However, an uncoordinated installation of systems on such different levels can lead to competing technologies. To investigate these interactions, ...
Sewer level monitoring is undertaken in real-time and intelligent raingauges (smart sensors) combine with radio telemetry to inform a computer based catchment-wide water model. ...
As urban sewer infrastructures age, it becomes increasingly important to make effective decisions to maintain the structural condition of the sewers at an acceptable level. To support the decision-making process, the utility manager can apply sewer deterioration models. However, the quality of the decision support from such ...
Industrial pretreatment, which is required for any discharges to sewers, prevents significant levels of any potentially harmful materials reaching public wastewater treatment facilities and, therefore, the sewage sludges that become biosolids. ...
Ensuring reliable structural condition of sewers is an important criterion for sewer rehabilitation decisions. Deterioration models applied to sewer pipes support the rehabilitation planning by means of prioritising pipes according to their current and predicted structural status. ...
This paper describes a study of urban flooding in downtown Kunming, China, simulating a major flood event that occurred in July 2008 using an improved two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic model enhanced with courtyard-level sewer data (CLSD). Although municipal authorities are not responsible for ‘private’ courtyard sewers, available ...
Sewer Level Monitoring - Photos Photos in this article present the complexity and versatility of sewer level monitoring. ...
