The Challenge

Blindspots in lift stations, I&I, and unpredictable wet weather events are overwhelming sewer systems.

Utilities face growing challenges—from aging infrastructure and fragmented sensor networks to increasingly dynamic weather events. These factors limit contextual visibility, hinder forecasting, and make predictive maintenance difficult—especially for assets that are not easily visible. To make matters worse, utilities are being asked to do more with fewer resources: less insight, less staff, and less time.

Wastewater lift stations are often out of sight and out of mind—yet their failures can result in severe environmental pollution.

Challenges your peers have addressed with ACE™:

  • Unexplained flow patterns and unreliable forecasts
  • Limited visibility into design storm impacts
  • Pressure to meet SSO/CSO regulatory notification timelines
  • Lift station underperformance and maintenance uncertainty 
  • Difficulty quantifying I&I and reporting on system capacity
  • Inconsistent, incomplete, or unvalidated sewer flow data

The Opportunity

No more blindspots in your collection network.

From proactive lift station management and real-time I&I tracking to SSO/CSO notifications, blockage detection, flow forecasting, and storm impact analysis — ACE empowers utilities to optimize collection system capacity and enhance overall network performance.

Targeted infrastructure spending

Leverage ACE analytics to prioritize projects, reduce unnecessary spending, and strategically target investments for effective I&I reduction and sewer capacity management.

Proactive lift station management

Performance metrics and maintenance insights to optimize lift station operations and enable predictive pump maintenance scheduling.

Storm resilience & readiness

Track storm events in real time, analyze design storms against similar events, and understand associated flows and peaking rates to better plan for emergencies and O&M schedules.

CSO/SSO regulatory reporting

Each state has unique CSO and SSO public notification requirements—including event timing and flow quantification—demanding precise, accurate reporting enabled by automated digital workflows.
