Challenge:
With 114 miles of difficult, sandy terrain and undulating plains, the Mornington Peninsula coastline experiences a huge increase in the population from summer tourism. Strained or failing septic tanks caused leaching, odors and contamination of groundwater.
Solution:
The ALL-TERRAIN SEWER pressure sewer system from E/One coupled with the intelligent OneBox control and monitoring system was selected to solve the problem. The approximately $297.5 million pioneering approach to sewage management combines a low-pressure sewer system (LPS) with the iota OneBox, a proprietary remote-control telemetry network that monitors and governs in real time more than (eventually) 16,000 grinder pumps in what will be one of the world's largest installations of its kind.
