Project overview

Install an automated system for flushing the town’s drinking water wells to prevent poor-quality water from entering the treatment plant.

Real-time monitoring and automatic controls will significantly reduce:

  • raw water wastage
  • chemical use
  • associated pumping/power costs

Expected outcomes

  • lower operating and maintenance costs
  • better water conservation
