Case Study: Gainesville Regional Utilities protects the aquifer with SEL pump automation

Gainesville Regional Utilities replenishes 600,000 gallons with SEL

Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) needed a robust solution to automatically control the water level in a wetland pond after its existing pump controller failed. The utility required a system that could easily integrate with its SCADA system to maintain optimal conditions for the pond, which was built to replenish the local aquifer and serve as an educational tool.

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) provided the SEL-2411P Pump Automation Controller, which integrated seamlessly into the existing system. The solution delivered reliable control and time-stamped data, enabling efficient troubleshooting. Since its installation in 2016, the pump controller has reliably maintained the water level, providing a solution that is both fiscally responsible and easy to maintain.
