Reliable Monitoring Solutions for Water, Wastewater, and Collection Systems

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.

History of Fluid Conservation 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.

Can I monitor hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas in sewers?

  • Yes. FCS offers dedicated H₂S monitors to prevent corrosion and protect worker safety.

Are FCS monitors compliant with EPA CSO reporting requirements?

  • Yes. CSO monitors automatically log and report overflow events to support compliance.
