Lift Station Backup: City of El Segundo

The City of El Segundo, CA is a hidden beachside gem in a unique corner of Southern California. With friendly, small-town charm and an ever-growing community of diverse businesses, El Segundo is a thriving coastal community and a 5.5 square mile economic powerhouse.

As the home of the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Kings, the city is the epicenter of Southern California sports culture. The new nearby multi-billion-dollar stadium that is close to completion, home to the 2022 Super Bowl and 2028 Olympics, the city is ready to welcome sports enthusiasts from around the world.

When an unexpected emergency happens, wastewater operators need to have systems in place that can provide real-time information in tough conditions, such as power outages.

Because El Segundo had the foresight to invest in SmartCover monitoring ahead of time, they were able to respond quickly with targeted actions throughout the outage and thereby avoid a major spill and an environmental disaster.
