Fluid Conservation Systems (FCS) at F.R. Mahony & Associates
Reliable Monitoring Solutions for Water, Wastewater, and Collection Systems
F.R. Mahony & Associates is proud to represent Fluid Conservation Systems (FCS) across New England. FCS is a global leader in smart monitoring solutions that give utilities, engineers, and operators the insight they need to improve performance, protect infrastructure, and reduce operating costs.
From cellular manhole monitoring to combined sewer overflow (CSO) detection, flow metering, level monitoring, and H₂S monitoring, FCS delivers reliable, field-proven technologies to keep water and wastewater systems safe, efficient, and compliant.
What is Monitoring & Why It Matters
Monitoring systems provide utilities and municipalities with real-time data on the performance of critical infrastructure. By deploying cellular and sensor-based technologies in manholes, force mains, interceptors, and treatment facilities, operators can:
- Detect inflow and infiltration (I&I) early
- Prevent sewer overflows and compliance violations
- Monitor flow and surcharge events remotely
- Track H₂S gas to protect equipment and worker safety
- Reduce maintenance costs through data-driven decision making
In short, monitoring is the foundation of proactive asset management for modern water and wastewater systems.

FAQ: Fluid Conservation Systems Monitoring
What does a manhole monitoring system measure?
- Manhole monitors track surcharge, level changes, and inflow & infiltration events in real time.
How does cellular monitoring work in remote areas?
- FCS loggers use low-power cellular networks to transmit data even in challenging coverage zones.
Can FCS products integrate with SCADA?
- Yes. Data can be exported to SCADA or accessed via web dashboards for system-wide visibility.
Are FCS loggers battery powered?
- Yes. Most are designed for long-term deployment with up to 5-10 years of battery life.
Do I need maintenance on these devices?
- Minimal. Occasional inspection is recommended, but FCS systems are designed for low maintenance.
