Sanitary Sewer Overflow Sensor
Prevent hazardous sewer flooding with Aclara’s sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) water height sensor. Respond to imminent problems such as clogged sewers or rising storm “surcharge” levels to head off the cost and liability of released contaminated water.
Aclara’s sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) solution alerts utilities to any potential or actual sanitary sewer overflow, which can send contaminated water onto streets or into lakes, rivers or streams.
Aclara’s easy-to-deploy SSO solution places a water height sensor in the sanitary sewer, which then sends a signal to the utility, over an AMI network, when sewers rise to potential overflow levels. The SSO can detect clogged sewers in time to dispatch a service crew. During storms it triggers an alarm when sewers fill to unacceptable “surcharge” levels, signaling imminent overflow conditions.
