Case Study: West Dundee achieves real-time wastewater monitoring and lower costs with Waterly

West Dundee Uses a Flexible SCADA Lite for Remote Wastewater Flume

The village of West Dundee, IL, faced a challenge in accessing timely flow data from a remote wastewater flume. Their manual, paper-based data collection process was inefficient and failed to provide the real-time information needed to identify trends and flow variations. Waterly, along with partner Blue Pillar, provided an affordable solution.

Waterly's solution, utilizing the Blue Pillar IIoT Gateway and the WaterClick platform, digitized the existing meter to provide near-real-time data. This eliminated daily site visits, saving an estimated $3,000 annually in labor and vehicle costs. The system provided a rapid return on investment and gave the utility the data insights needed to explain flow variations and billing anomalies to their downstream partner.
