Case Study: Stormwater basin on the Duck Creek
Mander Edge Solutions was approached by MSDGC to apply our control device and platform to prevent combined sewer overflows impacting the Duck Creek and the Little Miami River. Wet weather events in this area often cause Combined Sewer Overflow 472 to release untreated sewage into the city’s waterways despite passive rainwater retention structures being present. MES installed and integrated our control device at one of these stormwater basins to control a newly installed electric valve. The device monitors sensors present in the watershed via its cloud connective feature. Using these points of real-time data and various parameter setpoints as defined by MSDGC, the controller is able to recommend open and close states for the valve. By closing the valve during wet weather events, the stormbasin is able to retain stormwater and prevent combined sewer overflows downstream. When the wet weather event has passed and capacity is available in the sewer, the valve is opened and water released from the basin to be safely convened to the treatment plant. This installation demonstrates how the expertise and knowledge of MSDGC is able to be applied using the tools (platform and device) provided by MES.
