Real-Time Technology Helps Fully Operate & Monitor Lift Stations

Florida’s City of Pompano Beach is known for its clear blue waterways and fine golden sand. The city covers 25 square miles along the Atlantic Ocean coast, midway between Miami to the south and Palm Beach to the north, and it has a year-round population of 101,500 residents. Pompano Beach’s population swells to more than 150,000 during summer months.

The Pompano Beach Wastewater Pumping Division (COPBWWP) serves the city’s residents by maintaining 59 miles of gravity and force main sewer pipes, 82 lift stations, and more than 4,300 manholes. The wastewater is treated by Broward County.

Using the SmartCover monitoring solutions, the City of Pompano Beach has fully automated and optimized its pump station operations. They have saved time and costs associated with spills and gained actionable insights for the future. The utility also has improved community relations as well as minimized environmental infractions due to SSOs.
