Sweating Your Assets
Posted in Industry News
You’re a Collection System Manager for a municipality or sewer district and worry every day. You expect your system to operate at peak performance, but you know otherwise and the evidence after a rain event is telling. You can measure extraneous flow to the WWTP.

Beyond excessive cleaning, this means the sewer trench is losing its structural support which leads directly to pipe failure. The clock ticks and you’re sweating your collection system assets.
