Case Study: Trinity River Authority achieves wastewater efficiency and major cost savings with Aquatic Informatics Hach WIMS

Trinity River Authority cuts regulatory reporting time by 99% with Aquatic Informatics

The Trinity River Authority (TRA) manages multiple water and wastewater treatment plants and struggled with the time-consuming, manual process of compiling data for regulatory compliance reporting. This involved redundant tasks and exporting information from various sources into Excel, a process that was prone to human error and took hundreds of man-hours annually.

By implementing the Hach WIMS solution from vendor Aquatic Informatics, TRA automated its data collection and reporting. This provided a centralized dashboard for analysis, enabling operators to proactively fine-tune operations. The results were dramatic, including a 99% reduction in man-hours for reporting and significant cost savings, such as $55,000 saved on energy costs within six months. Aquatic Informatics' solution also helped avert a potential $400,000 repair by alerting staff to an equipment anomaly.
