Monitoring brings reliability to wastewater collection systems - Case Study

Remote terminal units help an Oregon utility monitor 40 major pump and lift stations.

Clean Water Services (CWS), a water reuse provider in Oregon that serves more than 500,000 residents, has partnered with local organizations to educate the public about the importance of wastewater reuse.

CWS Government and Public Affairs Manager Mark Jockers says they intend to increase public understanding and acceptance of water reuse as well as the importance of recycled wastewater. CWS has formed partnerships with groups within the community to start a dialogue about the urban water cycle.

“This whole project is really about starting a conversation about the nature of water. It’s about the fact that all water has been consumed before and will be consumed in the future,” Jockers says. “We are trying to broaden the discussion of water reuse in Oregon and in the nation in terms of how water is recycled.”
