Valve monitor confirms compliance
Problem
The wastewater treatment system at Lakeview Estates in Columbia, Md., failed to comply with state Department of Environment requirements. The owners hired Hydro-Terra Group to design the upgrade that included a low-profile treatment plant and subsurface drip irrigation dispersing to a sand mound.
Solution
The engineers chose a mechanical distribution valve from K-RAIN paired with an IVM6000 intelligent valve monitor from Dynamic Monitors.
Result
The data from the valve monitor confirmed compliance and sent an alarm if a valve malfunctioned. Maryland regulators now require valve monitors on all large onsite systems using mechanical distribution valves. 888/747-7645; www.dynamicmonitors.com.
