Customer meter data is a key advantage for wastewater management

A predictive software that spans all data systems sees things others can't

Austin Water have been gaining progressively better grasp of flows and capacity in their wastewater network, to provide complete trace functionality. This is based on the ability to assign spatial billing points to the sewer lines based on location, afforded by Baseform's end-to-end water management software. The software accrues these volumes cumulatively as they flows downstream toward the WWTP, and adjusts to match WW flowmeter data by basin to approximate the Average Daily Flow (ADF) in each pipe. Through network monitoring and wet weather event detection, the software provides a basis to approximate Peak Wet Weather Flow (PWWF) in each pipe. This functionality gives Austin Water an automated, rapid means to cover its entire wastewater network with a reliable basis for flow and capacity analysis by pipe, in contrast to the longer process of developing a full hydraulic model—significantly reducing repetitive manual work for the smaller, unmodeled pipes that make up the majority of the network. Another important advantage is the ability to relate and cross-validate flow meter data with billing data.
