Connectivity Challenges in Water & Wastewater

Water and wastewater utilities face unique data integration challenges that directly impact public health, environmental compliance, and operational efficiency.

Regulatory Compliance

EPA discharge permits, Safe Drinking Water Act requirements, and state regulations demand accurate tracking of water quality parameters and treatment processes.

Aging Infrastructure

Legacy treatment plants with decades-old SCADA systems, PLCs, and instrumentation require integration with modern monitoring and analytics platforms.

Water Loss & Leakage

Non-revenue water from leaks and unauthorized use can exceed 20% in some systems. Real-time pressure and flow monitoring enables early leak detection.

Energy Optimization

Pumping and aeration systems account for 30-60% of operational costs. Data-driven optimization can significantly reduce energy consumption.

Remote Asset Management

Hundreds of remote lift stations, pump houses, and reservoir sites require centralized monitoring with alarming for equipment failures.

Process Optimization

Chemical dosing, filtration rates, and biological treatment processes require continuous monitoring and adjustment based on influent conditions.

Water & Wastewater Customer Success Stories

"Managing 12 treatment plants and 200+ lift stations across our service area required real-time visibility into flows, pressures, and water quality parameters. TOP Server integrated all our legacy SCADA systems and field instruments, while Cogent DataHub aggregated data into our central monitoring dashboard. We've reduced water loss by 18% through early leak detection and improved regulatory compliance reporting."

Director of Water Operations

Metropolitan Water District

Results: 18% reduction in water loss, 200+ sites connected, 99.8% regulatory compliance

"EPA compliance for our wastewater treatment facilities demanded accurate tracking of influent/effluent quality, chemical dosing, and energy consumption. TOP Server's reliability and comprehensive driver support allowed us to connect equipment from 6 different vendors. Real-time analytics helped us optimize aeration systems, cutting energy costs by $340K annually while maintaining discharge permit compliance."
